[00:00] xlogik, I understand that KVM will give me the best performance because it's running in the closest ring and since my Windows 8 environment is already slow I need all the performance I can muster. Either way I have to reinstall the OS [00:01] Ìû === JanC_ is now known as JanC [00:02] OerHeks, do I want to download the server or desktop ISO? [00:02] emanuel, It all depends on your hardware... Do you have the basic system requirements to run Win8? You will need atleast twice the basic requirements to run a stable VM [00:03] xlogik, It's an i5 with 4gb ram so I am sure it more than meets the basic requirements. [00:07] emanuel, Ram maybe your issue see if you can use more swap space in the VM [00:09] nzoss [00:10] Hey! I want to install this theme: http://snwh.org/paper/ on my laptop. I downloaded and installed the daily ppa's build. I dont know how to enable the theme now. [00:10] Ìû [00:10] Hi there.. I'm hitting this bug "https://bugs.launchpad.net/uvtool/+bug/1408833" which comes with a proposed fix to install a kernel "linux-image-3.18.0-14-generic_3.18.0-14.15+lp1408833_amd64.deb", but on installing that kernel on my utopic (kernel 3.16.0-31-generic) it fails to boot. should I update my system to unstable or testing first? Also, what are the unstable or testin trees on ubuntu? More used to debian... [00:10] Launchpad bug 1408833 in AppArmor "broken postinst test for uvtool-libvirt on utopic" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:13] xlogik, since the issue is not with a vm I don't think swap is an issue. I was thinking switching to a vm would solve 2 issues at once [00:13] nahtnam, after install, maybe you need to logout/login again to make the theme selectable? [00:14] in systemsettings>appearance [00:14] OerHeks: Will try in a sec. [00:14] Im using the default appearance thing for 14.04. Not sure if its gnome or unity [00:14] Ìû [00:15] scorpio18: please stop that [00:16] whenever I run the software center and try to install something I get this error: Software can't be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available. (org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name, {'name': ":1.14}): org.debian.apt.install-or-remove-packages message..How do I fix this? [00:16] emanuel, Go with you gut! We learn through trial and error. Make sure you've backed-up any personal files. [00:18] RudeViper, what happens when you run update from terminal? [00:18] just ran update and upgrade fine - haven't tried to install from terminal yet [00:20] xlogik, backup already done. I hope I downloaded the right ISO it says AMD but it's an Intel CPU [00:20] OerHeks: Didnt work [00:20] Im not sure if I am using unity or gnome [00:20] ok it seems to run via terminal - guess it must be the software [00:20] Im just using the defaullt for 14.04 OerHeks [00:22] nahtnam, then that theme is not really compatible i guess, contact the theme maintainer? [00:22] OerHeks: I had to use unity tweak tool [00:23] it works now === Yukkino is now known as Yukkii [00:31] hey guys [00:32] was wondering how to deal with this massive amount of netstat [00:34] Is there still no soultion to bluetooth not working with rt8723be? I am hunting online and cannot find anything good. [00:38] solution* [00:43] ok it looks like somehow I have lost all my permissions - tried to mount an had and I am told I don't have authorization to do that... How do I fix that? btw - sudo in terminal works - this is only on the gui this is happening [00:44] had=hdd [00:51] hi [00:51] hi [00:55] hi [00:55] hey [00:56] hi folks [00:56] I don't think I've ever been in a channel with so many names, but no immediate blast people mid-communication === Artemis3v_ is now known as Artemis3v [01:07] Hello, I have 3 set of questions, but I will get started with my first: How do I enable the scroll wheel on my mouse? I tried searching the forums but didn't have much luck... [01:08] it should be enabled by default. it was with mine [01:08] what version are you using? [01:08] Ubuntu 14.04 [01:09] I am using a USB Mouse [01:09] that one's not very stable anyway. so i don't know what to tell you [01:09] oh sorry, I just realized I worded the question incorrectly. When I clicked on the scroll wheel usually on Windows I was able to quickly skim down a page and what not, instead it doesn't do that, it usually sends me back to the previous page I was viewing [01:10] what app are you using? [01:10] any general app? Firefox, Word, etc... [01:10] so all apps [01:10] yes [01:11] what do you mean by "going to the previous page" [01:11] when I click on the middle scroll button it doesn't do anything but send me back to a previous page [01:11] of what. browser? pdf viewer? [01:12] yes [01:12] all apps [01:13] actually nvm, I found out that on Firefox it is called autoscrolling [01:15] Can someone explain to me why the file only copied over when I was root https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5cb66d72cfb1d11893a0 [01:15] how do you stop the unity desktop? [01:15] Could someone Help me.. Im trying to run steamcmd under ubuntu 14.10 Wine [01:15] Second Question: I have a 3 monitor setup, how do I make my center monitor my main monitor, where all the notifs, login screen, and pretty much everything is always there first? [01:16] everytime i login to steam anonymous and try get app_update 258550 -beta experimental It starts the download and crashes im guess window vanishes [01:17] They dont support linux anymore so i was gonna give it a shot at wine see what happens [01:18] Hey guys, anyone have a problem on a thinkpad where the machine doesnt wake from suspend when you open the lid after a while? [01:18] don't expect software to run perfect in wine. also try running it through the terminal and see what output is given (like an error of some sort) [01:18] ubuntu089: [01:19] yeah I play LoL on wine and it is shitty [01:19] How you do that.. i half to read alot just to get where im at.. [01:19] Hello! I've been using Autodesk SketchBook on Windows, does anyone know of a good animation program (hopefully that works well with graphics tablets) on Ubuntu?

(not the RAM cache, but the disk buffer on the drive itself) [01:20] no idea sorry [01:23] ubuntu089: VPSs belong headless === john is now known as Guest86816 [01:23] Can someone explain to me why the file only copied over when I was root https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5cb66d72cfb1d11893a0 [01:24] well can i run wine /theroottothe/steamcmd.exe in the putty console? [01:24] Bray9082_: check the user and group ownership on that backup folder [01:24] hello [01:25] who is there [01:25] Bray9082_: you'll see that root:root owns it, without using sudo it won't copy over since the drive and folder(s) are likely owned by 'root' [01:25] what is IRC [01:25] are there new dvd rw libs or drivers i should download? it no longer see's dvd's not even the one i originally installed from, it doesn't boot either...i've tried 2 dvd drives, erase and writes fail?

Sometimes after boot, the login screen shows weird/inverted colors. Sometimes it corrects itself before I can login, sometimes it goes away as soon as I login, and other times it actually persists to the desktop session. Also, it sometimes happens after the screen locks and I resume my session. Pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/06iAB#alKYljS [01:29] ATI HD 6850 card, so nothing new, currently using the open source drivers. It goes away when if I use fglrx, but that opens up another can of worms (hangs on shutdown/boot, tearing, etc.) [01:29] nak_: could your card be going faulty?

[01:32] Guest86816: that's a lie, i just joined and there are plenty [01:33] Bray9082_: well, it's mounted - a chown won't help, you'll need to mount it with uid and gid options during mounting to define user/group ownership [01:33] hey, what's the deal with 14.04 and default locales? i just installed 64-bit desktop 14.04.2 using english and got a bunch of extra locales now...bug? [01:33] guest make sure you type it right [01:33] i don't know [01:33] "/join #ubuntu-cn" [01:33] Bray9082_: and i'm assuming it's not a Linux-specific filesystem (i.e. ext4), and either NTFS or FAT, right? That can't support linux style group/user ownerships [01:33] ugh guiess I have to reinstall AGAIN [01:34] RudeViper: what've you broken now? [01:34] teward: it's a QNAP formated with EXT4 [01:34] What I am actually trying to do it get the thing mounted on boot [01:34] if i am error [01:34] can't run anything through the software center - and now the gui won't show up - was using xfce and tried to go to unity and all I get now is a black screen [01:35] hi guys, newbie here, what is the path to the human readable content of a flash drive. I know the computer has named it UNTITLED, which is /dev/sdb, but how do I ls the contents in UNTITLED? Thanks [01:35] just rebooted - waiting to see if I det a deskto[p [01:35] teward: Get it mounted on boot and have it writeable [01:36] Hai! If I've got my network traffic proxied via Tor (which causes no end of trouble these days it seems), would that same proxy config apply to the "virtual" NIC of a virtual machine? That is, would VM traffic be unproxied, or would the virtual NIC also have to abide by that meta-proxy rule? [01:36] RudeViper: test the guest session [01:36] typed in password and it says failed to star session [01:37] There are an increasing number of network complications I'm having, that I'm increasingly beginning to realize, are, probably, attributed to the fact that I Tor proxy most of my network traffic. [01:37] if i am wrong [01:37] Please don't make me boot into Windoze... [01:38] i see "john" and "ping" in "ubuntu -cn" [01:39] promet: i have to say that doing that is pretty loopy. [01:39] daftykins yeah - logins got gorked somehow scrapping server version - gonna use desktop till i get everything configured - then I will find a way to kill gui if I need to [01:39] RudeViper: yeah, 'sudo service lightdm stop' :P [01:39] that works on unity? [01:40] daftykins, doing what, precisely? [01:41] fracking great [01:41] teward: I was told earlier that this should make it writeable [01:41] sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.7/backup /media/backup -o username=admin,password=771774 [01:42] hello [01:42] hmm [01:42] promet: TOR use in general, bit too paranoid for me :> and slowing everything down [01:42] ok thank you [01:42] i can join ubuntu-cn now [01:43] hey all, whenever i log into Ubuntu (just installed), it freezes. I vaguely remember either Unity being the problem (if so how can i switch it?) or installing bumblebee-nvidia drivers (if i do this, how can i even get on the network if i cant get into the GUI and when i log into command line, ifconfig only has the loopback and not my wired ethernet connection so i cant run apt-get)? [01:43] daftykins, I hear you, but...different strokes...I guess, yeah? [01:43] if you say so [01:44] monk12_: what does lspci give you, does it see your nic? [01:45] this is a strange question, but I ran into a Japanese guy that used some kind of device to measure the way Maxwell Nvidia GPUs render the desktop, and he noticed only fully 3d hardware acceleated *full screen* apps rendered at fast speed (like win8), and a desktop like Win7 non-aero gave you more sluggish mouse movement [01:45] hey letstrythis, i do see 'Intel Corp Ethernet Connection I217-LM' and 'Network Controller: Intel Corp Wireless 7260' when i run that. [01:45] so my question is, what Linux desktop environments are the least likely to have this issue with Maxwell [01:46] * wfpkhc wonders on in [01:46] eeep thats better [01:46] hello everyone [01:46] * wfpkhc wonders if anyone is alive [01:46] i am [01:46] Hello [01:46] hello [01:46] do you know much about ubuntu? [01:47] daftykins, It's also pretty interesting to see the nature of the way the Internet is reacting to Tor though. It's an interesting bellwether though [01:47] promet i dont understand what you mean - how its reactive? [01:47] double "though" = 6 points! [01:47] I am learning however i am picking it up really fast i love using command words i need to study more [01:47] do you have a nvidia geforce 750 ti card? [01:48] wfpkhc: what's your support question? 750 Ti not booting the installer? [01:48] no i have radron hd 7340 [01:48] good so they are in working order...can you manually give it an ip address? is the wifi on? my laptop has a touch button, it lights up...i often mistakenly turn it off by touching it [01:48] radeon [01:48] do you know much about ubuntu daftykins [01:48] wfpkhc: a little ;) what's up? [01:48] when i try and use iso on a pen stick [01:48] yes... [01:49] feel free to type more words per sentence [01:49] it loads in but the video drives do not work [01:49] wfpkhc, I think, after having messed around with Tor over the last few years (emphasis on "messed around", I'm no authority) that, increasingly, sites are requiring captchas and other mechanisms to requests that are coming from known tor router ips [01:49] wfpkhc: yes there is no driver in 14.04 or 14.10 for a 750 Ti yet [01:49] promet, oh ok - i dont use tor but it was good information - thank you [01:49] lol [01:49] wfpkhc, so, when i say "reacting", I'm referring to how web admins are detecting Tor traffic [01:50] omg :( that sucks daftykins [01:50] wfpkhc: you have to either add a PPA with a newer driver, or download the one from the nvidia site [01:50] wfpkhc, right on [01:50] the problem is daftykins is how can i install a driver when i cannot see the screen! [01:50] promet: sorry but your chat is off topic and this is an ubuntu support channel only, please use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat [01:50] !nomodeset | wfpkhc boot with this. [01:50] wfpkhc boot with this.: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:50] that'll get you sorted. === badon_ is now known as badon [01:51] daftykins, roger that, signing off... [01:51] why cant it just work? [01:51] letstrythis: hmm i dont think so...the wifi button doesnt seem to do anything on the Lenovo W540 i have... i dont see any eth# interface in my /etc/network/interfaces. just loopback [01:51] anyone know how much ram I need to assign and integrated video catd for unity to work? [01:51] and how long until they support those cards? [01:51] and is it bad if booted to the pen drive? will it wreck my hardware? [01:51] wfpkhc: because nvidia implemented things that break current open source support [01:52] wfpkhc: ok, we install software in packages from repositories... the current Ubuntu repositories or 'repos' do not have a new enough driver, that's all. the driver is available, it's fine [01:52] :( not cool - are they able to get around that? [01:52] did you read the bit where i said you either add a PPA (which is a repo) or download the driver from nvidia? :) [01:53] letstrythis: so when GRUB started... i went to recovery mode to get into teh command line... should i have gone into another mode/command line args to get internet? [01:53] * wfpkhc gives a sad look at daftykins so imply he doesnt know what ppa is [01:53] A REPO [01:53] !ppa [01:53] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [01:54] anyway your main task is to use 'nomodeset' to boot ubuntu and install it first, then you can look at installing a newer nvidia driver [01:54] so how do i go about putting an nvidia driver on a pen stick with http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [01:55] and is it bad if booted to the pen drive? will it wreck my hardware? [01:55] wfpkhc: I believe this is the PPA you need; https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia (just did a quick google search) [01:55] any able to help me? [01:55] rypervenche, but how do i get to install it if i cannot see the screen? [01:55] ubuntu fails to start (flashing cursor on black screen) [01:55] I can get to grub [01:55] and drop to command line [01:56] wfpkhc: When you boot up, you have to set the nomodeset option. Please read what daftykins sent you on the subject. [01:56] but sudo service lightdm gives "start: job failed to start" [01:56] wfpkhc: you don't, you boot the flash drive with nomodeset as i linked above. [01:56] monk12_: i don't think recovery has internet- i'm not sure.... [01:56] al_nz1: can you boot a live session? any changes made recently? [01:56] daftykins: I dont reboot often [01:56] this link? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 - if so that didnt work - the images are broken [01:57] I do suspect its graphics related [01:57] letstrythis: at the password login screen, do i enter Control+Alt+F2 to get to the command line? [01:57] i read that somewhere, but not sure that command seq is working. let me try agian [01:57] yes monk12_ [01:57] daftykins: I go into ubuntu recovery : then straight to console [01:57] al_nz1: tried an older kernel? [01:57] and is it bad if booted to the pen drive? will it wreck my hardware? [01:57] daftykins: then is when I tried to start lightdm [01:58] wfpkhc: of course not, it's just software [01:58] al_nz1: try checking if there's anything up with your hard disk perhaps? [01:58] k even if the video card displays with red lines? [01:58] daftykins: bad assumption ;) [01:58] did you notice in gui mode if the nic or wifi are "enabled"? [01:58] daftykins: i am pretty sure disk ok [01:58] desrt: which one specifically - also why don't you help instead of second guess? [01:58] daftykins: that software cannot harm hardware [01:59] also: no need to get your back up [01:59] well yeah i do know of situations where it can but spare me the interruption please [01:59] ^ xD [01:59] so what your saying is that i have to boot [01:59] al_nz1: perhaps read the Xorg log to see what's up? [01:59] and when it askes me to run live version i need to press f6 [01:59] daftykins: present with the 3 or so kernels I tried [01:59] wfpkhc: again, stop pressing enter so much =| [02:00] sorry [02:00] letstrythis: yes the wireless is enabled in the GUI be4 i log. hmmm Control+Alt+F# isn't working [02:00] monk12_: ctrl alt f7 gets you back to gui xD [02:00] daftykins reinstall lightdm? [02:01] al_nz1: you can if you want but that's not what i suggested [02:01] letstrythis: but like i cant even get into text mode with Control+Alt+F1. so i dont need to use Control+Alt+F7 cause the former doesn't work. [02:01] there is aloso "networking" must be enabled [02:01] daftykins: I tried the other kernels? [02:01] okay, strange [02:01] al_nz1: so what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? [02:01] so why isnt ubuntu rushing to solve this problem in the mean time? [02:02] are there any wifi spots listed? [02:02] wfpkhc: because it wasn't one they created, there ARE solutions, and not everyone owns a 750 Ti... [02:02] nope just my house. [02:02] :( [02:02] so because im a minority im being persecuted [02:02] click it [02:02] wfpkhc: i genuinely hope you're joking right now, because these are really stupid comments [02:02] letstrythis: its already connected it says. [02:02] anyway it'll be fixed in 15.04 out next month [02:03] sorry [02:03] nice :D [02:03] sorry about enters [02:03] but 15.04 isn't long term support [02:03] what's the ip in connection info? [02:03] daftykins: ok - now we are getting somewhere [02:03] i just cant do anything with it hehe. i cant get to a terminal to update nvidia drivers or switch away from unity. [02:04] daftykins: failed to initalize Nvidia kernel module. I know alot of people will ask why I am running proprietry Nvidia drivers, but I had to for a program. RIght now however I would be happy just to get back to my desktop [02:04] letstrythis: says 192.168.1.4 etc in details. [02:04] using wlan0 interface [02:04] al_nz1: you're 100% you use nvidia? "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit" [02:05] you might have to remount / read-write to install that package [02:06] daftykins: well I think its still also trying to load nouveau [02:06] daftykins: which is bad obviously [02:06] it will do as a fallback [02:06] this is how X works [02:06] xD i get that and i'm still connected haha...try manually changeing its ip in edit, to the ip on your active pc/connection your on now...just make sure the last x.x.x.99 is different and not likely what is being used by others [02:07] may i ask because i do not understand the tutorial [02:08] ask what? [02:08] daftykins: sorry, what are those commands? [02:08] with nomodeset after i select try without installing (f6) i can then install the driver for nvideo? [02:08] nvidia [02:08] al_nz1: one is installing a command which 'pastebins', the other is pastebinning whether you have any packages installed with 'nvidia' in the name [02:09] wfpkhc: read the nomodeset link earlier, it explains all this. you boot with nomodeset so you can install, then you boot the install... then you install the driver. [02:09] daftykins: it wont install pastebinits [02:09] yes I do have several nvidia packages [02:09] al_nz1: yes but i want to see first hand. [02:09] hmm [02:10] i read this link but the images dont work - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [02:10] why won't it install? [02:10] without pastebinits - hwo about a screenie? [02:10] i thought you had no working GUI [02:10] i dont want to isntall to a hard drive i want to run it from pen drive [02:10] wfpkhc: then you'll have to make your flash drive up with persistence [02:10] daftykins: using my camera phone [02:10] ^ my bro's pc has an nvidia mx 440 agp...only 12 worked, he fawked the cds and is stuck w/14.10 at blank screen, so i'm saving this and hope it helps ^^ [02:10] what is a good persistence size? [02:11] >4GB [02:11] omg that would take forever to write too on a pen drive! [02:11] *facepalm* [02:11] you're either a troll or have no idea what i'm saying [02:11] no honest [02:11] i have tried the persistance with this -- wait ill get link [02:12] al_nz1: well just run "dpkg l | grep nvidia" and see if you have a nvidia-304, or nvidia-331 etc. [02:12] http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ - and i tell it over 1gb and it takes forever when shutting down [02:12] 4gb is nothing for usb 2.0+ [02:12] and this is why we don't run from a flash drive :) [02:12] hi [02:13] letstrythis: hmmm the screen turned black be4 i could modify hehe. whats the point though in messing with the connection if in the end i still need to end up on the command line and thats iffy? [02:13] and the information says only 128mb - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [02:13] ew, the manual settings stick after reboot [02:14] daftykins: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kdtap3cl38kh152/2015-03-17%2015.14.09.jpg?dl=0 [02:14] hello, wish all doing fine ,i have problem after boot with linux when try to see loading logo after select live from the list didt see the loading , i think my problem with define of the vga card , my card is geforce [02:14] crazy how many issues 14 has [02:14] so really i just have to wait in essence really till next month and it will be fixed anyway right?

[02:16] al_nz1: that screen would disprove that [02:16] yeah it's fine, depends what card you have really [02:16] daftykins: GTS470 [02:17] letstrythis: i thik I can go into recovery console and theres a popup that says 'Enable Networking'. im gonna try that. [02:17] daftykins: are some diver/card matches better than others? [02:17] go for it [02:17] you just tend to need a newer driver for newer cards [02:17] i think i got eth0 wireless working now :), shows up in ifconfig. [02:17] wlan0 i mean [02:17] word [02:17] al_nz1: anyway, do you have working networking there? this is a desktop yes? [02:17] daftykins: yes [02:17] daftykins: yes I have net [02:18] al_nz1: so "sudo mount -o remount,rw /" then "sudo apt-get purge nvidia* " then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-304" then reboot [02:18] i cant understand this tutorial its hard to me [02:19] unknown package is what i get with nvidia-304 xD [02:19] daftykins: doing.... [02:19] letstrythis: that's nice. [02:20] i wonder if it works for others tho, do i need to get repos or something? i see it in aptitude [02:20] letstrythis: are you talking to me? [02:21] Huh, I can't seem to get my Ubuntu chroot to work [02:21] yea, similar issue [02:21] sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd lucid ~/ubuntu-lucid/ http://mirror.its.dal.ca/ubuntu/ [02:21] letstrythis: well you can't just suddenly run commands i say when i haven't even been speaking to you :) [02:21] sudo chroot ubuntu-lucid [02:21] daftykins: if this works - your a legend!

[02:25] daftykins: THANKS [02:25] * al_nz1 buys daftykins a beer [02:25] nomoeset worked? [02:25] \o/ [02:25] no the driver reinstall provoked DKMS to rebuild a module for the running kernel [02:26] that's what was up i think. [02:26] daftykins: is there a safe way to test these drivers? [02:27] err [02:27] install mesa-utils and run glxgears i guess :) === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [02:28] this nigth is so special tome [02:30] daftykins: that might work on my bro's pc...installer keeps saying the cache is in use, and pkg lock is not accesable...so that is why he had to mount -o etc? rw? [02:30] no [02:32] saved it to try later [02:32] daftykins: hey so while your on a roll...... [02:33] uh-oh [02:33] letstrythis: no, it's completely irrelevant. you can't just throw commands at situations and hope O_O [02:34] =/ but it's the same issue just different pc and card [02:35] i will try nomodeset first [02:35] what you just said about package lock doesn't necessarily have ANYTHING to do with root being mounted read only [02:35] (unless you're booted to recovery) [02:35] ah [02:35] al_nz1: so what's going on? you're killing me with suspense here) [02:35] -) [02:36] daftykins: I am trying to run a script which wants to start its own mini servers on various common ports, like 80, 445 etc. For some of these ports other servers are running (Apache, pure-ftpd, avachi, smbd) - should I just kill the process or stop it? or? [02:36] letstrythis: why don't you state the actual issue instead of trying to retrofit my advice here? :) [02:36] al_nz1: to free up those ports? you would stop the services of the daemons that are holding them [02:36] or reconfigure the script to use others [02:37] daftykins: and to check what daemon on what port - with netstat? [02:37] i think it would be a far more sensible use of time to edit the script [02:39] daftykins: it's a new ubuntu 14.10 install on a p4...with 512mb of ram...xubuntu12 ran just fine...What do i do with this pc, that only has command line right now? 14.10 ubuntu [02:40] we ran aptitude last night from the harddrive in command prompt and re-installed nvidia-304 [02:40] now it has a blinking dot [02:40] daftykins: hmm, some ports it says have "error starting server on 88" but nothing is showing on 88 in netstat? [02:41] daftykins: is there another way to check ports for services? [02:41] daftykins: your saying what i have to do is different from other similar issues? [02:46] what channel is for ubuntu support? [02:46] this one [02:46] for current versions [02:48] al_nz1: perhaps you need to run the script with sudo or something, don't know [02:49] letstrythis: no i'm saying what i was helping with right now doesn't necessarily match up exactly with that [02:49] If I want to partition an ssd as just one big partition (will mount /var, /tmp, and swap on an hdd), is there any reason to prefer one type of partition table over another? [02:49] letstrythis: you don't eavesdrop on a doctor giving someone else advice to find out what to do, when you're sick, do you? :) [02:50] unperson: GPT is for EFI systems, MBR for legacy [02:50] daftykins: you mean UEFI? [02:50] al_nz1: Ports 1 through 1023 require root permissions to have a process bound to it. So you would need sudo for it to work on those ports. [02:50] they mean the same thing actually. [02:51] "al_nz1: sudo netstat -plunt" or "sudo lsof -i | grep LISTEN" [02:51] rypervenche: yes - agreed, I am running the script as sudo [02:51] After reading all this stuff about e.g. partition alignment I'm just a little paranoid that there's some nuance I'm not getting. [02:52] al_nz1: If something is already using that port, then you will need to first stop it, and probably disable it from starting at boot. [02:53] daftykins: ty...is there some way i can get here from the command line so i can get specific help while on the other pc? [02:53] are they not close together or something? [02:54] unperson: sounds like you're overthinking it, plus swap is fine on SSD [02:54] Would it be bad to leave a machine on in suspend mode overnight? [02:55] separate rooms, i need to ask him if i can move it over here for proper troubleshooting....but it would be nice not to have to move it xD [02:55] bed now, nn [02:56] ssd is much faster then most hds and is wat should have swap on it i think [02:56] kk [02:56] just recently switched to an ssd, noticeably faster especially on boot [02:58] SSDs are great [02:58] unperson: you may save a buncha trouble making it one partition on the ssd relevent to your system...if its a new pc / laptop i'm not sure mbr's work [02:58] yes they do [02:58] !fud | letstrythis [02:58] letstrythis: Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt [02:59] you said they were the same daftykins xD [02:59] EFI and UEFI i said are the same [02:59] pro tip, to comment on my statements - you have to read them first. === Pilot is now known as Guest73598 [02:59] i did and i think unperson is just as confused [02:59] So, I have a weird graphics issue [03:00] * compdoc covers daftykins statements so no one can read them [03:00] I'll start by saying that I have intel stuff, and their driver updater doesn't work on 14.10, so it's probably just that [03:00] lol [03:00] letstrythis: nevermind, i'm going to bed so your lunacy can't frustrate me any longer :) [03:00] but if anyone thinks there's a solution besides waiting for their next updater, I can elaborate [03:00] i'll just shut up and not try to be helpful at all [03:00] letstrythis: good plan. [03:01] xD go sleep fool [03:01] bedtime for me too [03:01] letstrythis: i mean it, you're clearly not versed in this stuff so please don't try and help people when you don't know. [03:02] yea i'll try to learn somehow [03:02] But sometimes any response at all, keeps the flow so others can chime in with corrections and tell me to shut up xD [03:03] no you're just harming it. back off [03:04] roger [03:05] goes back to googleing ubuntu doesn't see dvd or boot or write to/from dvd from previously useable dvd [03:07] Would this work if I added it to fstab [03:07] /192.168.1.7/backup /media/backup cifs uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/home/aaron/.backupcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlam 0 0 [03:07] "//192.168.1.7/backup /media/backup cifs uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/home/aaron/.backupcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlam 0 0" [03:09] Bray9082_: why not give it a try? [03:10] then mount /media/backup and see if it works [03:10] unix is trial and error [03:15] murphyslawbbs: I should restate myself I am wondering why it doesn't work [03:16] Bray9082_: what is the output? never tried mounting cifs from linux that way myself [03:16] I seem to have a problem where my wifi disconnects when I move my laptop around the house. I can't reconnect again, but it's fixed instantly by rebooting Ubuntu. Never experienced this when using Windows.. anyone know what might be wrong?

[03:23] no problem. Best of luck [03:23] al_nz1: Depends on where you want your DNS server to be. [03:23] peter100, on the login screen you can choose another user or login as root [03:23] be sure to set ur root pw before trying tho [03:23] rypervenche: well there isnt one on the lan - its only a workgroup [03:23] rypervenche: so what should it be - or best be? [03:24] sudo passwd root < in terminal to set root pw [03:24] ok [03:24] thanks eikon81g [03:24] then set it and log out [03:24] login as other user input root and newly created pw [03:25] thanks again eikon81g [03:25] I am on Xubuntu and I believe I can set up new users [03:25] np peter100 [03:26] hello, I followed a guide to fix an audio problem, i removed pulse audio and installed esound, but now after loading i have no audio and half of the settings in "system settings" are gone [03:26] ouch.. [03:26] to get help you need to provide the Ubuntu version and sound device info [03:26] and I am trash so I prolly can't help much [03:27] ghhofstetter, you are in the right place though === richard is now known as Guest28977 [03:28] murphyslawbbs: if I do this in the terminal it mounts but isn't writeable [03:28] sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.7/backup /media/backup -o username=admin,password=771774 [03:28] i am running ubuntu 14.04 x64 and I was running the typical pulse audio that comes preinstalled on ubuntu [03:28] ghhofstetter, what was the original isue? [03:28] I don't know that removing pulse audio was the way to go [03:28] then again I am not your best bet [03:29] rypervenche: should I use my ISP DNS servers? [03:29] it probably wasnt cause it was the only thing i did before restarting [03:29] so it was obviously what cause this current state..... [03:29] al_nz1: If you want to. It depends on what you are doing really and what your preferences are. [03:30] i would reinstall pulse audio to be honest [03:30] and start there.. Was it not outputting audio before? [03:30] is there any fail safe for ubuntu to reinstall basic system software? or reset settings? [03:30] it could have been a setting in pulse ya kno [03:30] well in terminal you can re-install pulse audio [03:30] I had to [03:30] naw, there was glitchy audio on skype, followed a youtube video that told me to remove pulse audio and install esound [03:31] sound works now, but still i got no speaker icon in the top right.... the little icon was my buddy [03:31] oh lol [03:31] well the audio issue on skype could have been to bandwidth.. [03:31] you took a drastic approach [03:32] Oh ok [03:32] i tried reinstalling pulse by typing in sudo apt-get install pulseaudio, a few lines go by and then it says 0 installed 0 removed 6 not updated or something like that [03:32] ghhofstetter, go into the panel settings and put indicator back [03:33] Panel > Panel Preferences > Items [03:33] or maybe remove it and add it back. [03:33] I think that indicator was part of pulse tho.. so it may not come back [03:33] where is panel? is it in system settings? cause hahaall of that is gone [03:34] on your panel right click (the bar where your time, etc. is) [03:34] and go to panel then panel preferences [03:35] right click does nothing to the bar [03:35] humm. Well do you have unity settings anywhere? I run xubuntu so I have xfce [03:36] so I may have been misguiding [03:37] yes, i run unity... I was just hoping if there was a fail safe to jst restore default settings or retore default programs.... [03:38] how do I check if I am using Netowkr-Manager? [03:38] al_nz1: wich ubuntu version do you have? [03:38] you got me ghhofstetter I wish I could help more.. I tried :\ [03:39] lotuspsychje, is really good [03:39] ghhofstetter, there is a way I'm sure.. just need to get the right PrO to help yau [03:39] *ya [03:39] Anyone on reading this right now? [03:39] Hi, I need a tool or some sort of system monitor that sits in the background and displays the current ifconfig-like information, the current mount points and their paths, and a list of specific processes. It would nice if it was easily customizable/extendable. Any popular recommendations? [03:40] Bray9082_: well I'm thinking it may be user specific as it's cifs [03:40] ablegreen, did you browse the software center..? [03:40] ablegreen: i like indicator-multiload [03:41] eikon81g: Yeah, just looking for 'recommendations' though [03:41] right on [03:41] if you find a good one let us know [03:41] ablegreen: etherape is also nice to see network traffic, GUI [03:41] grr i hate finding relevent threads to downloads to fix things and getting 404 errors [03:41] Bray9082_: what about specifying user and group as numeric as suggested by google? [03:41] letstrythis: did you try a sudo apt-get update? [03:42] lotuspsychje: Looks good, though I'm looking for something like this: http://cdn.linuxaria.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glances.png that displays what you want in one place [03:43] ablegreen: you like it gui or from terminal also? [03:43] Preferably terminal [03:43] Just a preference though [03:44] ablegreen: a good starting point is deviantart user desktops on ubuntu/linux and search for monitors and see what they use [03:44] lemme browse what i can find [03:44] Alright. [03:44] lotuspsychje: i'm trying to burn new ubuntu, and get ubuntu 14.04 to see my old dvd....oddly enough the old dvd has a folder in media folder [03:44] I was gonna say I've seen cool ones on desktops [03:44] ablegreen: conky can also do this kind of stuff, but more eyecandy [03:45] lotuspsychje: heard of it, I'll check it out, thanks.

My ubuntu server is currently experiencing extremely high load. ksoftirqd/0 is using a lot of CPU time. I am running nginx + php-fpm on 14.04. [03:48] I am going to check it out too [03:48] What things can I do to better diagnose the issue? [03:49] orion: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys can also point you to right direction [03:49] orion: have you tryed htop to see whats causing the high cpu? [03:50] it was a fix suggested here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1895338.html [03:50] letstrythis: have you tryed brasero to burn? [03:50] I just tried to install glances and it caused an error in xubuntu [03:50] eikon81g: what kind of error? [03:51] yes, [03:51] just said caused an internal error.. [03:51] lotuspsychje: Looks like I've got about 32 php-fpm instances each consuming a small portion of CPU Time. [03:51] O, question, I am trying to reinstall : "unity-control-center (14.04.3....)" after accidentally uninstalling it by uninstalling pulseaudio, i cannot find it in the app center [03:51] I am not much of a linux person I am learning so I'm not sure [03:51] does anyone know a terminal command or somehwere where i can get it?

I am looking at details now [03:53] letstrythis: try brasero or make a bootable usb with ubuntu [03:53] orion: not sure mate, are those suppose to be running 32 times?

[03:54] it doesn't boot from usb [03:54] ahh.. you don't have a boot menu (dell is usually f12) [03:55] letstrythis: you can download 'plop boot manager' and burn on a dvd to force the pc to boot your usb [03:55] NICE [03:55] nice indeed for older systems :p [03:55] * eikon81g bows to lotuspsychje [03:55] he's good. Real goosd [03:55] *good [03:55] i need to get this to burn first [03:56] letstrythis: try brasero [03:56] !burn | letstrythis [03:56] letstrythis: CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [03:56] I use K3B [03:56] it's not too shabby either [03:56] i've been trying to use k3b, but it fails...

[03:57] lol [03:57] even another dvd thats already got ubuntu on it, does not boot or seen when inserted [03:57] that's normally my problem [03:58] but a blank dvd it sees and attempts to mount [03:58] do you have a spare drive? [03:58] maybe it's not a software issue ya kno.. [03:58] i setup another drive same pc same thing [03:58] wah wah wah [03:59] if the medium is new it should write regardless [03:59] i take it the second drive was not usb?

I run into that sometimes [03:59] one is in the lappy the other is usb [03:59] @eikon81g: Fixed it! anytime someone asks for advice like me about how they screwed up uninstalling things, just send them to the app center and have them search and re-intall everything they uninstalled.... just hitting "sudo apt-get remove pulse audio" removed about 9-10 inportant background software that i reinstalled individualy [04:00] o.0 ew [04:00] right, so is it in an enclosure? and is it 3.5" or the laptop size? [04:00] nice ghhofstetter CONGRATS!!

[04:05] letstrythis, -- I will also add that the message "QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave" is completely innocuous and can be safely ignored. It is purely a warning message from Qt. [04:05] ok [04:05] lotuspsychje, yes [04:06] so maybe its cause i'm not root [04:06] letstrythis, that was a quick search and I saw people saying that and reboot the machine [04:06] i have rebooted with both drives attached [04:06] eikon81g: then glances should work also, think it might be a xubuntu thing [04:06] i think you are right lotuspsychje I reported it with the bug tool [04:07] thanks lotuspsychje :) [04:07] no sweat [04:07] * eikon81g pour lotuspsychje a cold one [04:07] *pours [04:07] how do i make the "burner" group so i can try setting permissions [04:08] if it was a permissions issue the program wouldn't run would it? [04:08] letstrythis: wich ubuntu version are you on again? [04:08] it would but the drives would have issues [04:08] ahh ok [04:09] 14.04 [04:09] one sec [04:10] I honestly would ignore that error.. read some of this: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=102251 [04:11] dev/sr1 666 root [04:11] cdrom [04:11] same on the other dvd drive [04:12] hi all, why the debian packages are associated with the 'zero' always exampe: libopusfile0 libogg0 ?? [04:12] log in as root and try? [04:12] how? [04:12] set your root pw [04:12] sudo passwd root in terminal [04:12] set it [04:12] and then log out [04:12] !root [04:12] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:13] I've done this by the way thanks for the info cfhowlett [04:13] xD [04:13] login using the root account [04:13] and you are all ret [04:13] *set [04:13] then see if you have the issues.. ? [04:13] keestu: ask in #debian [04:14] lotuspsychje, you know the ubuntu touch channel? [04:14] eikon81g: yes [04:14] lotuspsychje, i realized that and asked. :) [04:14] eikon81g, ubuntu touch ? [04:14] right [04:14] thanks in advance [04:14] I'm curious if anyone here knows any good replacement for rhythmbox besides banshee? I think I've used banshee amarock and a few others, but I know one of them had my CPU up to almost 80-90%, just for that program. [04:14] eikon81g: why you ask? [04:14] I wonder if they have had any installs on idevices [04:15] I have a locked ipad that I'd love to tinker with :P [04:15] crlcan81, no shortage of media players in the software center [04:15] eikon81g: join the #ubuntu-touch channel [04:15] ty sir [04:15] on my command why am I getting bash: myexe.exe permission denied [04:15] I"m wondering what folks here like though, because honestly software center recemendations are hit and miss. [04:15] the script should create a exe [04:15] crlcan81, mencode/mplayer would be much lighter [04:15] ..I had something somewhat similar in trying to run an iso's exe.

[04:18] Well I know one thing mplayer can't do, at least gnome's mplayer, deal with large numbers of files like on a playlist. I just had it crash after loading my playlist and closing out of it. [04:19] crlcan81: lol, sounds like everything goes wrong on your box, maybe its your system itself then? [04:19] crlcan81, perhaps the cure is a lighter OS overall; lubuntu/xubuntu [04:20] Is there a way in Linux to start an application usin a hotkey?

[04:22] have not tried to burn yet [04:22] Thank you [04:24] letstrythis: i got into linux yay... I went to recovery mode, enabled 'network'. then went to command line as root in that recovery mode still. i reinstalled ubuntu-desktop and unity.... installed the bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia drivers and I could log into Ubuntu. the bumblebee/nvidia drivers prob what made it work. [04:24] gonna take a break and let it try to burn in sudo [04:24] nice [04:25] monk12_: your card is an optimus? [04:25] ::dances:: [04:25] glad i was somewhat helpful xD [04:26] lotuspsychje: its a W540 so its a Nvidia Quadro K2100M. my W520 def had an optimus. not usre if the Quadro is an Optimus card. [04:26] monk12_: then youl need the nvidia-prime package, bumblebee is outdated [04:26] wow i'd love to have quadro again those things kick butt [04:27] !info nvidia-prime | monk12_ [04:27] yes but it works [04:27] monk12_: nvidia-prime (source: nvidia-prime): Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime. In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.7 (utopic), package size 11 kB, installed size 102 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [04:27] lotuspsychje: software that I'm compiling that uses SDL? [04:27] i think i saw nvidia-prime also get installed when i installed something else. is it problematic to have both? [04:27] lotuspsychje, is a fool wit it [04:27] monk12_: not sure, if your system runs stable i woulnt touch it :p [04:27] monk12_: bumblebee? [04:27] exactly lotus [04:28] I regretting installing the nvidia package on mine [04:28] The first thing I did was install the nvidia package [04:28] works great [04:28] I have a hybrid setup [04:28] so will prime break what works? what will it add how to easily go back? [04:28] +1 nvidia quadro k1100m [04:28] yea I have a p.o.s setup lol [04:28] cool. yeh its stable now.... i have bumblebee, bumblebee lotus and nvidia-prime (maybe cause i installed prime-indicator after bumblebee) [04:28] bumblebee, bumblebee-nvidia*, and nvidia-prime [04:29] burn failed in sudo k3b, failed medium? its a new disk grrrr [04:30] letstrythis: try brasero :p [04:30] what does the buffer look like when you are burning? [04:30] monk12_: here's how I got my nvida to work: install fresh 14.04, immediatley go to software-properties-gtk, enable nvidida propretiery driver, reboot, do nothing else. [04:30] lotuspsychje, is prolly right [04:30] don't fuck with bumblebee or prime [04:30] just use the nvidia card all the time [04:30] ldlework: if the card is optimus, it will surely need nvidia-prime [04:31] lotuspsychje: maybe installing the properietary driver does that [04:31] I don't know, but just installing the prop driver from a fresh install, I've never had to do anything else [04:31] ldlework: no its a seperate package [04:31] added debug window ffrom k3b [04:31] lotuspsychje: I can assure you you don't need to install anything but clicking "Use properitery Nvida driver" from software-properties-gtk after booting into a fresh install [04:31] it looks like it is Optimus, i saw features under the card as optimus. Quadro K2100M: http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-for-mobile-workstations.html [04:31] i'lltry brasero now [04:31] letstrythis, did you log in as root that time when you burned [04:32] ? [04:32] yes [04:32] humm.. [04:32] I did it just today. Twice. [04:32] ldlework: then maybe your card hasnt got optimus technology? [04:32] brasero - fingers crossed [04:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10613615/ [04:32] Oh hey try to set the burn speed to like 2x [04:33] may help and are you able to see your buffer levels..? are you getting buffer underruns? [04:33] that's another thing you might tryu [04:33] added the "media info to pastebin [04:33] *try [04:34] ok [04:34] lotuspsychje: it does, its nvidia and intel and I've used bumblebee but its a nightmare [04:34] ldlework: bumblebee is outdated [04:34] even so, since installing the prop driver I haven't had to mess with any prime stuff [04:34] listen to the man! lol [04:34] h [04:34] and my apps are accelerated [04:34] so I dunno [04:34] "don't fix what's not broke" [04:35] Does anyone know why libsdl2-dev wants uninstall over 100 packages? [04:35] anybody know why Aeolus is not sending a signal through JackCtl after I have connected it to system in UbuntuStudio 14.04? [04:36] !info libsdl2-dev [04:36] libsdl2-dev (source: libsdl2): Simple DirectMedia Layer development files. In component universe, is optional.

[04:41] so doing some googlign... nvidia-prime uses Nvidia by default and you go and set nvidia-settings to use other profile if needed (kinda confusing though, dont see option to set default GPU, might be per app settings). Bumblebee uses intel GPU by default and use optirun/primusrun to run an app using Nvidia GPU. and yes bumblebee/ironhide is being phased out i just read. [04:41] i guess prime-indicator for nvidia-prime helps out switching GPUs (although u have to logoff for that to work). [04:42] * eikon81g is away: brb [04:42] monk12_: nvidia-prime is what you need :p [04:43] :)... however bumblebee claims 'If you thought that Bumblebee was dead, it's still alive and kicking' hehe. [04:43] monk12_: maybe if you would uninstall nvidia-prime you would experience probs [04:44] monk12_: but sure, on some machines it might still run fine [04:44] if i could get nvidia-prime to use the Intel GPU by default that would be cool. sure i can use prime-indicator to switch to Intel after i login. [04:44] but thats kinda pain, have to login twice then to swtich. [04:45] I've been thinking xubuntu, the only thing I worry about then is how compatible will things like SL and the like be with my system, and I'll have to resalvage all my files here, I've got close to 80-90 gigs of information I want to save. [04:45] i going to uninstall bumblebee/bumblebee-nvidia (guess ill run apt-get remove bumblebee*) and see what happens. [04:46] monk12_: good luck :p [04:47] ldlework: can this help perhaps? http://askubuntu.com/questions/344512/what-is-the-general-procedure-to-install-development-libraries-in-ubuntu [04:48] lotuspsychje: nah it isn't related [04:48] thanks though [04:48] someone else explained to me that its just the way its packaged [04:48] and everything I'm uninstalling is getting replaced with a slightly different version [04:48] and most cases the same versions are being reinstalled [04:49] its just scary the way its presented === loki__ is now known as lokeshu [04:49] k removed bumblebee and still works. now to see if i can make intel the default GPU under nvidia hehe [04:50] lotuspsychje, you created a monster.... [04:50] lol [04:50] ldlework: was your system an upgrade or fresh install? [04:52] alright lotuspsychje I'm out I'll be back soon, I will let ya know how the touch install goes :) [04:52] Thanks again!! [04:52] Later all!! [04:52] eikon81g: laterz [04:52] :) [04:55] k thanks guys again (Idlework and lotuspsychje), im off to sleep!

[05:49] I have tried live media - but the text is too small/blurry [05:49] i've used nomodeset and vga=771 - doesn't help [05:49] penguser: is your card an optimus? [05:49] why isn't anyone addressing this problem ? It must not effect only me? [05:50] lotuspsychje, no [05:50] you should install nvidia drivers from the xorg-edgers ppa [05:50] penguser: did you check additional drivers section to test out other drivers? [05:50] Ben64, I cannot BOOT [05:50] IT'S NOT INSTALLED [05:50] you don't need to yell [05:50] I just want to test the media [05:50] I don't want to install and then I cannot see my screen [05:51] penguser: whats the error on booting? [05:51] it goes too fast but I think I read something about nouveau [05:51] penguser: wich ubuntu version? [05:51] I suspect the nouveau drivers are just lousy so it doesn't load a proper driver/text [05:51] I tried 14.10 and 15.04 [05:52] penguser: try 14.04 to test [05:52] Lubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu [05:52] I did [05:52] I press F6 [05:52] I used nomodeset and on the boot parameter line, I entered vga=771 [05:52] but, I'm out of ideas now :( [05:53] penguser: where exactly on setup do you get stuck? [05:53] I'm using the live media - with usb stick [05:53] it needs the nvidia drivers from the xorg-edgers ppa [05:53] so install that ppa after you install ubuntu [05:53] it loads the desktop but I cannot read the screen...text is small and blurry [05:54] I cannot install them... I cannot read anything! === hungle is now known as wolvorinebat [05:54] penguser: did you try to install ubuntu instead of the live [05:54] no [05:54] penguser: try that, and do what Ben64 suggests [05:54] what if the install is the same?

[05:55] it won't be... after you install the drivers [05:55] do you understand that i'm saying to install the drivers [05:55] *face palm* [05:55] i'll take that as a no [05:55] hello?

[08:01] Nikhil just type this in console -> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [08:01] nis: #ubuntu+1 for support [08:02] Edu-J it says that flash plugin player is already the newest version [08:02] Ben64 van you help me with some update issues? [08:03] Nikhil: I have had better luck installing flashplugin-nonfree [08:03] EriC^^: It's taking forever. [08:03] Is that how it should be? [08:03] nis: if its about 15.04 you need to ask in #ubuntu+1 [08:04] yes Nikhil, is the newest flash... for firefox [08:04] but should be good enough [08:04] Ben64 no its 14.10 [08:05] nis: well explain your issue and see if anyone can help [08:05] Ben64 http://pastebin.com/gkDZUaQ0 [08:05] nis: ok thats an error message thing, but you need to explain things [08:06] Ben64 i get many errors while updating and many of my programs are not getting installed properly [08:06] nis: what were you running that prompted that error [08:07] nis: and you only pasted part of the error, you need to give more complete information [08:07] Edu-J, What is the command for installing chrome [08:07] Nikhil, let me see... [08:08] Ben64 http://pastebin.com/rEPi6MBj [08:08] Nikhil, As I remember, you should download the package from chrome web [08:08] Ben64 i recently innstalled virtualbox and that wasn't working [08:08] ben64 but i been having trouble with other programs as well [08:09] oh, ok [08:09] yup -- d/l chrome from the website [08:09] but downloading it from terminal is very fast, I noticed [08:09] nis: pastebin the outputs of "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [08:09] not chrome but other softwares [08:09] it will come up with some strange error something is missing iirc - I did a sudo apt-get install -f and then all was right with the world and it install chrome [08:10] yes but Chrome is not in repositories [08:10] if you want to install chrome, add the google chrome PPA [08:10] Nikhil, you can do it from here -> https://www.google.es/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html# [08:10] Nikhil, just download the correct package [08:10] ok [08:11] Nikhil, really easy [08:11] Edu-J is downloading from terminal really fast or is it my imagination? [08:12] Nikhil, yes it is really fast (depends on your connection, of course) [08:12] Ben64 http://pastebin.com/LihaSCN0 [08:12] because 1GB file was downloaded within 10 mins where as in windows it would take 1 hour [08:12] Ben64 this is sudo...upgrade [08:12] Nikhil, but sometimes you need something that is not in your repositories [08:12] that's why they call windows the 3 hour tour -- [08:13] I'm on a lenovo x250 with an upstream kernel [08:13] Hi! Does anyone know the URL to Ubuntu's daily builds and alternative downloads? Thanks. [08:13] Nikhil, and you need to download the package or add a repositorie (PPA) [08:14] Ben64 http://pastebin.com/Nx9nSc3z [08:14] Julia7: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ [08:14] Ben64 this is the upgrade part [08:14] Ben64: Thanks. [08:14] I'm on a lenovo x250 with an upstream kernel (3.18.7, to get all the drivers working) and some USB hard disks don't work. I tried blacklisting uas (as suggested on askubuntu) but that didnt work. here's dmesg output: http://dpaste.com/00QZE7M [08:15] Edu-J can I host a website from ubuntu? [08:16] Nikhil, yes, you can use Apache, PHP... what you need [08:16] Nikhil, you can read something about LAMP (do you know XAMP for windows?) [08:16] Ben64: Would you be so kind and help me pick the right .iso for Ubuntu 15.04? [08:16] Why is your "bacula" module so outdated ? [08:17] no, I didn't go much into networks. I like the programming [08:17] Julia7 u can do it fromm th e terminnal [08:18] Nikhil, just type "localhost" in firefox [08:18] Julia7 sudo do-release-upgrade -d [08:18] Nikhil, you could have Apache already installed (as it was in my case) [08:18] nis: I've already tried that. It took forever and then the virtual machine just shut down. [08:18] nis: Please help me. [08:18] it say unable to connect to server [08:19] Julia7 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/current/ [08:19] Nikhil, ok so you don't have it installed [08:19] can you give me the command for it [08:19] I don't see my usb harddrive because of (most likely) this error message in dmesg xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep -- any pointers? [08:20] Nikhil, have a look to this article -> https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu [08:20] nis: What does "daily build" mean? Can I update it or do I have to download a new .iso every single day? [08:20] Julia7 no you just download it [08:20] and later keep updating [08:20] Nikhil, it explain how to install all you should need for web developing [08:21] nis: So this is the .iso I want? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/current/vivid-desktop-amd64.iso [08:21] do I need to register a domain name to host a website? [08:21] Hi, i've compiled a custome kernel ( no modules, inbuilt drivers, no initramfs/initrd) .. however on booting to the kernel I get a kernel panic, unable to mount root vfs [08:21] Julia7 if you want more info on 15.04 join #ubuntu+1 [08:21] How do I resolve this? [08:21] nis: :( [08:22] Thanks. [08:23] Nikhil, I use Apache locally for development and then I use hosting services, yes [08:23] Ben64 any suggestions? [08:24] Nikhil, but you can host a website in your computer, registering a domain that points your computer (I have not much experience with this) [08:24] so, apache is only for local development not for the internet [08:24] oh, good [08:24] Nikhil, you can use Apache for internet, of course [08:24] be aware however, that all u.s. based carriers block incoming http requests [08:25] then registering a domain is compulsory? [08:26] Nikhil, no, you could share your ip [08:26] Nikhil, there are also services like "NO-IP" [08:26] oh, so if we type my IP then my website will be display. Right? [08:27] Nikhil, yep ^^ [08:27] and all that is free [08:27] Nikhil: your ip address may change whenever you disconnect from the internet. your internet provider may block you from hosting a website. you have to stay online to continue hosting the website [08:27] Nikhil, yes, totally free [08:28] nice :) [08:28] Nikhil, yes, what freddyb says is all you have to think about [08:28] Nikhil, and security [08:28] Nikhil: the hosting itself (e.g. with apache) is unfortunately the easiest problem of them all [08:29] Nikhil, you can also use this -> http://www.noip.com/ [08:29] i use dyndns I may switch to no ip when it expires [08:29] security is hard, unless you just host HTML files (no PHP, CGI, etc.) [08:29] how much would it take to register a domain? [08:29] if you're looking for a free dns provider, I can really recomment afraid.org. dozens of domains to pick from. [08:30] as I said, I only use Apache locally for development... [08:30] Nikhil: you can get free ones, if you just need a name, not something very beautiful and short [08:31] Nikhil: to register a domain, contact a registrar like godaddy.com or domains.com. I think it's about $12/year to register a domain [08:31] Nikhil, I use CDMON hosting, in Spain [08:31] Hi, i've compiled a custome kernel ( no modules, inbuilt drivers, no initramfs/initrd) .. however on booting to the kernel I get a kernel panic, unable to mount root vfs [08:31] How do I resolve this? [08:31] delhivery: you have not built in the correct disk support [08:31] ikonia, the same kernel works w/ a non ubuntu system [08:31] delhivery: or subsystems required to boot / access your disk [08:32] delhivery: so work out what's different on your non-ubuntu system [08:32] ikonia, the only difference I am seeing is the different parititioning .. /dev/sda5 501760 976771071 488134656 8e Linux LVM [08:32] doesn't really prove much though [08:32] delhivery: ok - so lvm support [08:32] freddyb, can you tell me the free ones? [08:32] Nikhil: maybe better to move this to #web channel [08:33] ikonia, ok, sorry for the disturbance btw [08:33] no need for sorry [08:33] peace -- out -- night [08:34] Nikhil: someone mentioned no-ip.com, but there's also afraid.org [08:34] ikonia, right.. but my root against the grub.cfg will still be referred to with a /dev/mapper? [08:34] Nikhil: you can set up some program on ubuntu so that it updates your name regularly (so it always points to your correct ip address (if it changes)) [08:35] delhivery: which is a meta device, not a physical device [08:35] ikonia, on the other system I am instead passing root=/dev/sdaX , while ubuntu generates it as root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu-vg-root [08:35] delhivery: because it's using LVM, not physical devices [08:35] ikonia, right.. so does this necessitate the use of an initrd? [08:36] depends [08:36] ikonia, in fact, I've never used an initrd/initramfs and I am not sure what its needed for [08:36] ok, so researching that would be a good start [08:36] I have a usb hdd that shows up with lsusb but does not create a device in /dev - how to debug? [08:37] freddyb: shows up where ? [08:37] ikonia, the question I thus want to ask, is if a default ubuntu installation can be booted via a kernel w/o initrd/initramfs [08:37] i.e. directly boot off a bzImage [08:37] delhivery: it depends on the ubuntu configuration [08:37] ikonia, the configuration i've specified i.e. LVM set up [08:38] delhivery: that is just a disk part - it depends on more than the disk [08:38] ikonia: shows up when I enter "lsusb" [08:38] like what? [08:38] freddyb: so that means it's plugged in [08:38] ikonia: exactly :-) [08:38] delhivery: why are you building a custom kernel - what's the issue you're trying to resolve/manage [08:39] ikonia, identical machines in office, ubuntu is unable to detect a set of peripherals ( including backlight, touchpad etc) [08:39] another identical machine I've set up with the unstable kernel has drivers for a lot of them which I've built and set up on a gentoo system [08:40] all peripherals work on the latter and I am trying to replicate the kernel on the former [08:40] ikonia: how can I debug what's going wrong and why it doesnt get an entry as e.g. /dev/sdc? do you know? :-) [08:40] replicating the kernel is not the issue understanding why they are not working is [08:40] freddyb: look in the syslog [08:40] freddyb: is it a usb disk, or something like a phone [08:41] ikonia, i know for a fact its the lack of drivers [08:41] delhivery: which drivers [08:41] and are they just missing in the ubuntu kernel, or a different version [08:41] ikonia: a real usb hdd. physical device with a spinning disk and everything :-) [08:42] ikonia, they're missing in ubuntu kernel I guess.. specifically, e1000e is throwing issues [08:42] so is alps_v7 [08:42] delhivery: e1000 is not mising [08:42] yes, but its not working right [08:42] for example.. dhcp cannot complete on eth0 on this box with the current driver [08:43] delhivery: so thats not a missing driver [08:43] and to be honest - that seems unlikley as I use the e1000 and e1000e driver all the time with ubuntu and have no issues with a full pxeboot situation [08:43] ikonia: syslog is not particularly interesting :O http://dpaste.com/2X5MB0E [08:43] which includes dehcp [08:44] freddyb: excluding the usb disk, how many disks are in your system ? [08:45] ikonia: just the built-in ssd [08:45] ikonia: (which surprisingly shows as /dev/sdb, not /dev/sda) [08:45] freddyb: please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" please [08:46] ikonia: ah, since a reboot (or two) the internal one shows as sda. sorry for the confusion. fidsk pastebin is coming...

[08:53] yes i know.... [08:53] philip, do you have a line with 127.0.1.1 ubuntu in /etc/hosts?

[08:58] philip: ok - someone has changed the file /etc/hosts - who did this [08:58] I'm currently dualbooting [08:58] !dualboot | KurisuIRC [08:58] KurisuIRC: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [08:58] i dont think so..because am the only one currently using it [08:58] KurisuIRC: and other os is win8? === zz_rabisg is now known as rabisg [08:59] Other is OSX [08:59] philip: it has been changed [08:59] ah ok [08:59] pls how can i resolve the issue [08:59] philip: either this file has been changed (which I can see it has) or you have tried to change the hostname [08:59] philip: if you answer the questions we will get to how to resolve it [09:00] i dont remember me changing hostname [09:00] but if thats the case.what is the best way to resolve it [09:00] add one line: "127.0.1.1 ubuntu" [09:00] philip: ok - as you don't know what's happened to your machine and iti has been changed at a basic level [09:00] okay [09:00] philip: I suggest you backup your data and re-install your system to a known good state [09:00] So what should I do lotuspsychje ? [09:00] and pay attention to what you are changing [09:01] KurisuIRC: not sure, never did dualboot with osx sorry [09:01] I'm sure Mac's screwed up some EFI stuff. [09:01] I ran boot-repair but that broke it further [09:01] ikonia: with that particular issue hope it doesnt affect anything [09:01] philip: it will have a significant impact on a lot of things [09:01] KurisuIRC: can you still enter grub? [09:01] philip: hence why I advice you to backup any data you want and re-install [09:02] Yes. [09:02] how can I get the pid of something that is listed as "/bin/bash /home/chetic/foo" in ps aux? pidof foo and pidof /home/chetic/foo don't work for me [09:02] But if I boot into "Ubuntu", it gets stuck [09:02] Chetic: what is it exactly you are running [09:02] okay.thanks....but wat if i change the hostname [09:02] KurisuIRC: maybe try the recoverymode and sudo update-grub [09:02] philip: you should not change the hostname [09:02] okay.. [09:02] philip: your machine is in a questionable state as you don't know what you've chaged [09:02] Tried that, fails to mount /boot [09:02] changed [09:03] okay.thanks [09:03] one more question p3p1 is the same as eth0 [09:03] philip: yes [09:04] KurisuIRC: how about the failsafeX or fixbrokenpackages? [09:04] failsafeX just plain up doesn't run, fixbrokenpackages works t [09:04] hey guys, my first time here [09:04] Welcome xy, mine too :3 [09:05] KurisuIRC: wich ubuntu version did you dualboot with? [09:05] 14.10 [09:05] KurisuIRC: you could try a 14.04 over it perhaps? [09:06] That'd take a long while, crappy Australian Internet is crappy [09:06] :( [09:06] KurisuIRC: or try nomodeset on your 14.10 [09:06] How would I go about that [09:06] !nomodeset | KurisuIRC [09:06] KurisuIRC: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [09:07] KurisuIRC: but if recoverymode gets stuck, not sure if you will be able to fix [09:08] Recovery Mode loads fine [09:08] Just unsure what to do from there.

I've configured it and I've added the printer via system-config-printer, but when I try to print, after few seconds the print is stuck [09:09] Any ideas? [09:10] KurisuIRC: try the nomodeset maybe [09:11] KurisuIRC: have you been able to boot ubuntu before? [09:11] It worked on First Install, then after that, it's just failed to mount boot [09:13] KurisuIRC: ok, try nomodeset first if that doesnt work i would try install14.04 over it [09:13] it's still repairing packages [09:13] ok [09:13] there's... alot [09:13] lol [09:13] that can take a while [09:13] ikonia: I booted the old kernel and reverted my modifications to modprobe.d/blacklist.conf :-) all is vanilla, and I rebooted without plugging it in. this is dmesg: http://dpaste.com/3EAVV2B and this is syslog http://dpaste.com/0M41VVN [09:14] KurisuIRC: wich guide did you follow to dualboot with osx? [09:14] Let me find it, brb [09:14] tnx [09:14] ikonia: would really appreciate if you could find the time to take another look [09:15] freddyb: so that looks a cleaner more "standard" start up === eduardo is now known as Guest60783 [09:15] freddyb: tail the syslog and plug the usb disk in [09:16] freddyb: lets see what it adds [09:17] ikonia: I was gonna copy&paste something but then...kernel panic [09:18] freddyb: wow [09:18] ikonia: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000...f0 (next line) IP: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x1f/0x70 [09:18] hello [09:18] freddyb: don't know what that actually means without context, spin_lock can be a disk related error I 'think' [09:18] is there someone who knows someting about synaptics touchpads ? [09:19] lotuspsychje, can't find the exact document. but it uses rEFIt, then standard ubuntu installation [09:19] (must stress think as I'm working from memory) [09:19] KurisuIRC: ok no sweat [09:19] ikonia: I would go for a similar interpretation [09:19] freddyb: worth checking that though [09:19] freddyb: see if you can repeat it [09:19] ikonia: fwiw, the usb hdd works fine on 14.04.2 lts [09:19] ikonia: I know I can...gimme a sec ;-) [09:20] Just finished repairing packages lotuspsychje, now on a black screen. [09:20] oh the monitor timed out [09:20] <.< [09:21] ikonia: fwiw, the newer kernel didnt show the panic, but I suppose that's of little value to us here :-P [09:21] freddyb: agreed [09:21] KurisuIRC: so you cant boot? what about grub? [09:21] it just gets stuck on the Ubuntu screen [09:21] because it can't mount /boot [09:21] or something or rather [09:21] ikonia: I'll summarize & type down the syslog additions into a pastebin, with some typos added. I hope that less interaction with the buggy device means less kernel panic. is a bit less accuracy OK with you? [09:21] KurisuIRC: any errors if you press F1 [09:22] ill let you know when this finishes [09:22] ikonia: ah nvm. it panicked again, I think....the screen went fully black now. [09:22] freddyb: interesting something isn't happy there at all === Fleetflame is now known as Fleet [09:22] ikonia: aye :/ [09:27] ikonia: I plugged it in and out again, so we get at least something. pastebin coming :-) [09:27] freddyb: super, thank you [09:28] ikonia: http://dpaste.com/1VQ1B32 [09:29] freddyb: loads of errors there [09:31] ikonia: it would appear as a device error to me - if it wouldnt work so well on my other machines ;-) [09:31] freddyb: certainly looks that way [09:31] Hi [09:31] freddyb: looks like a ton of errors, but I assume this works on other machines just fine ?

[09:36] freddyb: could do, but gut feeling is thats not the problem [09:36] ikonia: this looks interesting too? http://askubuntu.com/questions/61010/cant-mount-external-laptop-hdd-on-laptop [09:36] freddyb: read tgat earlier, not convinced by that [09:38] hello am trying to install ubuntu desktop for 400gb.i want to partition it [09:38] lol [09:38] philip: ok, what's the problem [09:38] cristian_c: ? [09:38] wat is the best directory and gb space to use [09:39] i want to divide my partition [09:39] philip: there is no "best" as you partition it up how you want to use it, [09:39] ikonia: thanks for looking at the whole thing with me. really appreciated. I'll do some poking here and there and will let you know if I get anywhere [09:39] i dont want to use the entire disk [09:39] freddyb: please do, if you want to talk more - come back to me [09:39] philip: ok, partition it up, to sizes you feel you want to use [09:39] am only doing for /downloads,root an home [09:39] is it coo [09:39] cool [09:40] it's up to you, /downloads is a non-standard location, but you can use it if you want just fine [09:41] freddyb: is your usbhd getting sufficient power to spin? [09:42] mcphail: that's an interesting question. how would I know if it doesnt? :-) [09:43] freddyb: usually the only way you know is that it doesn't work on one machine but does on others... [09:43] freddyb: if its working on other machines without power, it's safe to assume it's getting enough power [09:43] more so if it's a disk designed for mobile use and it's using a usb port [09:43] doesn't IBM have a yellow port for the higher powered USB3s [09:43] or is it light blue [09:43] ikonia: many usb ports don't meet the spec and can't power a spinning disk [09:44] mcphail: agreed, but thinkpads do [09:44] ikonia: even usb3 which _should_ be enough [09:44] and I thought he said he was using a thinkpad [09:44] ikonia: i have an old usb2 disk caddy and an old thinkpad at work which needs 2 usb inputs (power and data) to spin the disk [09:45] mcphail: "old" is the key there [09:45] ikonia: the x250 has a blue and a black usb3 port. both have the "SS" (superspeed?) usb logo [09:45] ikonia: true [09:45] he's on a modern one [09:45] ikonia: i still wouldn't trust it to meet spec [09:45] freddyb: the blue ones are normally the higher power ones from memory [09:45] ikonia: the black one also has a battery icon next to it. i think it's the one that also provides power if the device is in hibernation [09:45] and the yellow ones are powered even when the power is off [09:45] ikonia: it crashed on both, though :-) [09:48] even if I had one of those usb-y-cables, I dont think I could attach it. the ports are about 12 inches away from each other :-/ [09:52] hello gents good morning [09:54] Quick question about vivid vervet.. just installed it on my macbookpro 8,1 (been using ubuntu for a long while on it as my default OS) for some reason it boots into something that looks like a phone OS.. none of the shortcuts are working i can't get a terminal to start using the standard shortcut , I was expecting to boot into unity or something similar..

I am looking for any app that could help me to create website without hosting provider. could you guys help me out with it???

[10:05] BRG try the website channel .. apparently that's the way it's gonna be from now on@ [10:05] :) [10:06] akaWolf: but wayland is still in the develoment stage. so dont expect a regular desktop that is working like the old xserver one [10:07] k1l: so is it in the off repository? [10:08] akaWolf: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wayland&searchon=names&suite=trusty§ion=all [10:08] that is included already. but i am not aware of a "click here to run everything with wayland" button since its all very unstable [10:09] k1l: looks like it's a marketing.. [10:09] not a technical problems [10:13] akaWolf: it's not install and forget [10:13] as I understand it it's only a partial implementation [10:17] you still need a desktop that works on wayland to get walynad running usefully [10:20] Hi, I have a problem with apt.

[10:30] might have something to do that I can't seem to get rid of pulseaudio... [10:31] Sure well i have taken a llok at the documentation and it appears as though it works in a similar way to an x server [10:31] (when I don't have pulse it seems that 50% of my software can't play audio anymore..)

He gives a great explination of what jack is and runs through an ubuntu based tut [10:39] thank you keags, I will take a look and let you know how it turned out. ^.^ [10:42] Loks like if you can track down the hardware addresses for the applications you want to connect you can route them into eachother. To make it easy to visualize as you are configuring picture the hardware addreses or ports as physical ports and the applications and devices.

[10:57] k1l_, ah, ok [10:57] I ask again, then [10:57] I will be checking out his other videos to see if I can actually set it all up as I allready know audio will bork up in the mean time and thus avideo won't be as much help... [10:57] cristian_c, actually, any question that contains "has anyone ...?" should just be explicitly and quickly asked [10:58] :) [10:58] so, i ask again, cfhowlett [10:59] I own a tp-link tl-ps310u. I've configured it and I've added the printer via system-config-printer, but when I try to print, after few seconds the print is stuck [10:59] Any ideas? [11:01] l [11:01] witam [11:02] ?

Else if you know linux well it will make do difference [11:05] k1l_, I'm try to make it stable [11:05] *I'm trying [11:06] k1l_, so, I'd like to know if anyone has answered to me, in the meantime [11:06] there must be security updates and other bug fixes but any differences regarding interface changes, user experience, settings, apps, etc ?

If there are things about the new gui you like you will be able to install them. [11:09] ubuntu 14.04.03 should be coming out in april ?

[11:13] sources.list is for the official ubuntu repos. sources.list.d is for the 3rd party stuff [11:14] yeah I know [11:14] Hi folks, this isn't a technical question per se, but I'm sure you people will help me sort that out. The point is, I'm almost giving up Linux in general, and Ubuntu in particular. I want a distro that 'just get's out of my way (tm)', and installed ubuntu because of that, but I got fed up of trying to solve every quirk here and there. I'm starting to think that Linux is not for the desktop. [11:14] k1l_: but will it break or be the same [11:14] Did my message truncate? [11:14] sabgenton: it will break. dont mess with the sources [11:14] hmp1768: didn't seem like it, but not sure why you're telling the Ubuntu support channel that [11:15] newuser789: 14.04.3 is due in august. 2015 [11:15] hmp1768: ubuntu can't be responsible for the users action [11:15] hmp1768: if you want tehcnical help ask in here. if you want to discuss join #ubuntu-offtopic . if you want to rant only start a blog :) [11:15] Ben64: I'm just looking for someone to help me not loose my motivation, so I thought that here could be a good place. [11:16] hmp1768: ask one question at the time to getting solved [11:16] k1l_: really? I just wanted to know for tecnical understanding I'm not going to purely becuase its more organised [11:16] sabgenton, it should work [11:16] k1l_: are you just FUDing me [11:16] vivid: ok then he is [11:16] !sources | sab little more info here [11:16] sab little more info here: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. [11:16] sabgenton: its the way all the updaters and upgrades expect the things to be located. [11:16] sources.list and .list in souces.list.d is the same thing [11:16] sabgenton: please stop that attitude. [11:16] vivid: it is not the same thing [11:17] vivid: no. i just explained why you are giving false advice [11:17] lotuspsychje: I'm not blaming Ubuntu for y actions, but I can blame it for not working at all with bluetooth for example [11:17] hmp1768: if you have issues on bluetooth, you could have come here to solve [11:17] k1l_, excuse me? dont think i was talking to you [11:17] hmp1768: that depends on the hardware used. i dont have any trouble with bluetooth. [11:17] * lotuspsychje hides [11:18] hmp1768: if you have a question, ask it. ranting will never solve anything [11:18] vivid: it doesnt matter if you give false advice. [11:18] k1l_: ok so it may brake things looking for the lines to alter them but it will work? (I'm not going to do it I just want to understand) [11:18] k1l_, what are you explaining to me i dont understand [11:18] lotuspsychje: I had come, for the past week, and was ignored, even if I've hanged here for a couple of hours each time [11:18] hmp1768: a little more patience is advised here [11:19] !bluetooth > hmp1768 read up this [11:19] hmp1768, please see my private message [11:19] Ben64: Sir I apologize if it looks like I'm just ranting, it's not my intention. I'd just like to have some advice oh the keep motivated thing, not just technical issues [11:19] hmp1768: this is the support channel, not the motivation channel, definitely not the complaints department [11:19] sabgenton: you could change all the sources into sources.list.d but it will not survive any upgrade or any possible updates that change the sources before [11:20] thanks [11:20] ok, I've looked at the log, and it's logged until 11:05 utc, so until that time no answers are received, ok [11:20] ok so the two locations me nothing to apt there the same in that regard [11:20] Ben64: This isn't quite a complain, honestly. But I understand that my issue might not fit this channels. I just thought it was okay to hang here and talk to people about this. [11:21] k1l_: just a diffrents to ubuntu software [11:21] hmp1768: #ubuntu-offtopic for talking [11:21] sabgenton: its easy: official repos go to sources.list. 3rd party goes to sources.list.d. that easy [11:22] lotuspsychje: I tried to do it in vanilla Ubuntu and Xubuntu, the provided frontends are able to see the devices, but won't pair to them.

[11:23] hmp1768: you should install those blueutils and tail your syslog while connecting to bluetooth to check errors [11:24] k1l_: right, I was going to download some opensue repo debs on a few things so as to keep them out of the offical stuff I guess I'll chuck them in source.list.d [11:24] sabgenton: yes. [11:24] so many places have in there guides sources.list the don't seem to make it a convention [11:25] but I shall from now on [11:25] nevermind, after disabling ipv6 things started to work [11:25] sabgenton: there are so many just wrong and painfull howtos out there. just stick to the official ubuntu way. [11:27] k1l_: Yeah well I never actually indended moving the ubuntu repo lines but now I know theres no diffrents I'll move everything else there (sources.list.d) [11:28] sabgenton: what kind of opensuse package you need on ubuntu?

[11:39] or install from apt-get [11:39] nvidia-346-updates [11:39] otherwise install gdm [11:39] thats better [11:39] gabrielsch: the one ubuntu chooses by default thats working [11:40] lotuspsychje: so, nvidia-current? [11:40] if you have graphic driver problem then gdm [11:40] I suspect that gdm is the problem [11:40] I can't even stop the service sometimes [11:40] dnrinfotech: that is not helping him [11:40] it freezes everything [11:41] gabrielsch: for optimus cards you will need nvidia-prime [11:41] okay [11:41] gabrielsch: you know howto get into recoverymode?

Any clue to solution please!? :D [12:27] ikonia: resolve.conf is showing just localhost [12:27] which i assume is some name cache [12:27] jetsaredim: correct which points at dnsmasqq [12:27] jetsaredim: so look at what servers dnsmasq is using [12:27] jetsaredim: look at both what is configured and what is actually happening [12:29] Does an encrypted home folder have any known problems with Dropbox? [12:29] Kamuela: in what way ? [12:30] ikonia, I dunno, like causing everything on dropbox to sync encrypted via Ubuntu lol [12:30] Kamuela: no, as it's a file system [12:30] so it has to be unencypted for it to wkr [12:30] work [12:31] ikonia: where are the config files for dnsmasq [12:31] jetsaredim: depends how it's being launched [12:32] ikonia: I've not messed with it [12:32] that doesn't change the question [12:33] someone know which hacking channel? [12:33] jzp113: not here [12:33] learn how to use freenode [12:34] ikonia, ok so dropbox shouldn't have any issues if i install it then? [12:34] Kamuela: nope [12:35] ikonia, ok [12:35] ikonia, ok I just want to ask someone who know that [12:37] well every body in #jack and #opensourcemusicians seem to be AFK [12:37] anybody here got any othere solutions? [12:38] this is probably the wrong channel to ask, or maybe not as I wouldn't know a better one, but what's the real reason a company thinks it has to make its software proprietary? [12:38] try #fsf Kamuela [12:39] bazhang, thank you [12:39] Kamuela: so it can charge for licenses [12:40] proprietary = licensing+support vs oss = support [12:40] as far as revenue models go [12:40] jetsaredim, lets take this to PM or #ubuntu-offtopic [12:41] jetsaredim: i asked the question in #fsf and they're talking a bit [12:41] i've nothing more to add [12:41] thanks :) [12:42] ikonia: dnsmasq manpage nor google are terribly unhelpful on locating the config info [12:44] how can i check if trim is enabled with my new ssd? [12:44] !trim | Kamuela [12:44] Kamuela: Many Solid State Drives support TRIM, which allows the drive to do garbage collection and improves performance. Ubuntu 14.04 activates it by default.

[12:48] Good Morning All [12:48] k1l_: yes it does ! :) ty [12:51] ikonia: it appears that dnsmasq was started by upstart - not sure if that helps or not [12:52] Hey.

[13:30] So, a question came up in quora and I guessed people here could give me an answer: How come Ubuntu takes more time to verify when your password is wrong? [13:30] or just leaving the screen session while it still runs? [13:30] jnxd: it's a secuirty measure to stop brute force attacks [13:30] k1l_: both, I want to know how to close a screne when i am done with it, and close it but keep the process running [13:31] closing just type exit. for keep it running press ctrl+a+d [13:32] ctrl + a + d detaches all screen [13:32] *screen [13:32] *screens [13:33] I want to execute a script at startup/reboot (bash script), but I would like it to be execute _before_ the Apache service is started. what would be the best way to do this?

I can't get virtualbox's guest additions working on a guest with minimal Ubuntu 14.04 with i3wm nor openbox installed. The particular part of guest additions which does not seem to work is the shared clipboard. Now the really peculiar thing is that I managed to make it work when I installed Lubuntu 14.04. So my question is whether I forgot to install something else on that [13:42] minimal 14.04 netinstall which caused the shared clipboard to fail. [13:42] if you're interested in the details, here is the troubleshoot process I did - https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=66605 [13:43] freeroute: Ubuntu ships with guest additions already installed, as does Windows [13:44] hmp1768: yes, that's also what I've been told in that last post of that thread. However, Vbox guest additions are specific to the particular versions of Vbox. So how would I then effectively remove the pre-installed guest additions and install the version-specific ones? [13:45] hello, i am having problems with ubuntu is anyone avaialable for help? [13:45] (well I'm already familiar with installing the version-specific guest additions, but I'm still wondering how to remove the Ubuntu's ones) [13:45] user124: !ask [13:45] ehm [13:45] !ask [13:45] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [13:46] i had just install ubuntu on an new drive partition but i cannot log in into my windows how can i do this? [13:47] freeroute: Earlier version of guest additions can run on newr versions of VBox. Thing about what happens when you update vbox and launches a vm for the firstime after that. [13:47] user124: is windows still there? You haven't overwritten it with your install? [13:47] user124: what do you mean with a new drive partition? Was it a separate partition on the same drive where windows was installed or was it on a separate hard drive? [13:48] Hello! Anyone who knows how to change the default resolution of the system? I mean also in virtual terminals? [13:48] I tried many ways in grub but still nothing changes. [13:49] freeroute: i had created an new part U:\ from windows to install ubuntu on it, i choose the 3rd option on ubuntu installer to install [13:49] and i add 3 partitions on the free space drive [13:49] one was / other swap and other /home [13:51] user124: ok, so you wanted to install ubuntu on the partition you created in windows (U:), on that partition you started to create other 3 partitions during the ubuntu install? [13:51] 多种松木 === ddd is now known as Guest53835 [13:51] !cn | Guest53835, [13:51] i need help with my dual monitor, after setting nomodeset on grub, im stuck with 1 display resolution on both monitors [13:51] Guest53835,: 如欲獲得中文的協助,請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [13:52] /join #ubuntu-cn [13:52] luc4: have you checked out how to set the framebuffer resolution? [13:52] freeroute: yes but now i cannot find the windows it's like they erased [13:53] freeroute: fbset seems to return an error when trying to set resolution "ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument" [13:53] user124, fdisk -l will list all your partitions. *IF* windows is there, it'll be listed. [13:54] [13:54] user124: you have probably accidentally written over your windows partition. Best thing to do is boot into an ubuntu liveCD (or liveUSB these days) and run sudo gparted from commandline. Gparted allows you to see partitions in a visual format. Otherwise you can do what cfhowlett says but the output of that is a bit hard to understand. [13:55] omg [13:55] where i execute the fdisk -l [13:55] user124, chillax [13:55] luc4: I'm not entirely familiar with setting the FB resolution, but it might be that your card doesn't support that resolution. Have you checked this doc? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting [13:56] user124: remember to precede the fdisk -l command with sudo [13:57] freeroute: I'll read that, thanks. However I'm writing an application that runs on kms directly and that is able to set 1920x1080. So it should be possible somehow... [13:57] yes but where i put this command [13:57] i have no idea [13:57] user124: are you booted into Ubuntu right now? === thomas_ is now known as Guest32631 [13:57] yes after restart only bootting to ubuntu [13:57] if so, then go to that glass search thingie and type in the word "terminal" [13:58] does making xorg.conf in /etc/X11 still work on 14.04 [13:58] ljmod, for nvidia gpu? [13:58] iptable ati [13:58] hmp1768: so if the Ubuntu guest additions are installed by default, then when I boot into the graphical environment of a VM, why does the adaptive resolution not work? [13:58] ljmod, no clue then. for nvidia it didn't, you just used nvidia-settings ui [13:59] omg there are only linux on the list wtf i did [13:59] ljmod, the xorg.conf still works, it just depends on drivers. backup you one if you have one and you can experiment. [13:59] hmp1768: I always have to install the GA in order for that to work.

[14:01] ljmod, ok, so you can create it if you wish. [14:01] ljmod, I know it works, as I broke my nvidia install by creating one with wrong configs in it once in 14.04 [14:01] user124, you DO still have your windows cd, right? [14:02] No i dont :( i used win10 TP [14:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10615430/ [14:02] the problem is not windows but my all the files [14:02] i had 2 drives C: and D: [14:02] user124, you have successfully removed windows. congrats [14:03] omg i cannot beleive that [14:03] freeroute: that page helped me a lot, thanks! [14:03] user124, if you want to recover anything, stop all i/o, read writes immediately. look into your recovery options [14:03] WHAT [14:03] luc4: np :) [14:03] how can i do this man [14:03] please help me [14:03] user124, yep. windows go byebye [14:03] freeroute: helped me a lot = solved [14:03] freeroute: :-) [14:03] user124, any important files lost? [14:03] luc4: hehe, yeah that Arch wiki is a good resource even for other distros. [14:03] yes man [14:03] user124, get off that machines now. [14:04] user124: well did you have backups? [14:04] ^ [14:04] not for all [14:04] of COURSE he has backups! [14:04] but on OneDrive i had some [14:04] user124, are there any important files you lost that you cannot live without and you had no backups for? pr0n dont count [14:05] yes iptable i have [14:05] does ubuntu store them somewhere? [14:05] user124, 1. boot into liveCD. 2. in liveCD install and run file recovery tools to recover files [14:05] freeroute: I still see a weird effect: I set X using KDE to 1080p and kms to 1080p in grub. KDE after boot is 1080p and VTs are all 1080p. Perfect! Only weird thing: when booting, it seems KDE boots in something like 720, then it sets 1080p, geometry changes with "flashes" and then 1080p is ok. Any way to remove that weird effect? Maybe X starts 720p and then KDE resets it to 1080p? [14:05] user124, ubuntu doesn't store files from partitions you have asked it to remove [14:05] i dont have any cd [14:06] user124, liveUSB then [14:06] user124, boot into something other than your HDD, install file recovery tools and run them. [14:06] user124, all tools are mentioned here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [14:06] user124, do NOT install or run anything from the drive you are trying to recover! [14:06] luc4: that's a good question :p [14:07] user124, for windows, you will need to obtain install media (CD/USB). If you have the key, Microsoft these days will let you download the ISO file for free with the installer. google for that or call their support line. [14:08] ok i now just want my data back [14:08] so i execute this: sudo swapoff -a [14:08] i have my usb connected [14:08] correct? [14:09] user124, are you still on the recovery machine? [14:09] what recovery machine man, i cannot understand sorry i am panic [14:09] user124, are you still on the machine you're trying to get files from? [14:09] yes [14:09] i am by using ubuntu [14:10] user124, hey, uh, user. I guess I wasn't clear before ... GET OFF THAT MACHINE. every read and write is writing over whatever files you want to recover. THAT'S why you were told: boot your ubuntu USB on that machine NOT the HDD! [14:11] *facepalm* [14:11] you mean to turn off the ubuntu now [14:11] and boot again via USB? [14:11] user124, yes. [14:12] shit i have to redownload the ubuntu [14:12] language [14:12] * cfhowlett facepalms into keypad [14:13] after i boot from USB what are the steps man? [14:13] user124, and you're STILL on the machine, aren't you? [14:13] user124: #1 stop saying 'man', we're not on the street right now. #2 stop swearing [14:14] i said i am on panic what did u not get? daftykins [14:14] cfhowlett: yes i am [14:14] user124: that does not excuse poor behaviour, now i'm telling you how to conduct yourself. what do you not get? [14:14] user124, done. you're not following the advice, so it's on you. [14:15] is there a way to manually play with your display output settings? my laptop works 100% with external displays but my built-in display has flickering and weird issues that i think have to do with bad default settings [14:15] i am downloading the .iso to boot from USB [14:15] user124: not on that same computer i hope. [14:15] hi everybody... problem: wirelessLAN doesn°t work, kabelLAN works after update... ubuntu 14.04 lts... need help :-))))) [14:15] i dont have extra computer lol [14:16] user124: everything you do, you are slowly erasing your data by overwriting it. do you understand? [14:16] user124: if you're doing this I hope you get an exta backup [14:16] yess but what can i do to recover them [14:16] Kamuela: that might have to do with your GPU drivers. [14:16] user124: boot a live session by making up a flash drive on another computer. go to an internet cafe if you have to. [14:16] user124: stop using this computer and ge some other one [14:17] ohhh omg terrible i cannot believe it, if i cannot do this is there an extra way? [14:17] NO. [14:18] freeroute: been told that a bunch of times but neither the intel nor basic ubuntu drivers seem to fix my issue. also external screens work without issue [14:18] there is not any program so i can recover my lost data now? [14:18] from this computer [14:18] user124: NO. now stop asking the same thing [14:19] user124: your hdd failed? [14:19] Kamuela: does anything look suspicious from "xrandr" 's output? [14:19] no its alive [14:19] EriC^^: user here installed ubuntu and chose 'wipe windows' and has lost all data ;) [14:19] EriC^^: is now trying to pester us into miraculously running recovery *from* that installed ubuntu [14:20] sdf [14:20] daftykins: oh, he can use testdisk to recover though [14:20] d [14:20] EriC^^: ideally from live session though right?

[16:39] heh it was appreciated by me though [16:39] meh oh well [16:40] :/ [16:40] ok thought I'd see if someone came up with an install method or something for the old interface [16:40] netbooks are dead now, time to bury them and move on i'm afraid [16:41] ninedragon: well, you could try unity or Lubuntu if that doesnt run fluid enough [16:42] hmm I might give lubuntu a try [16:42] just don't expect to be able to watch flash video online anymore :) [16:43] heh I wish flash would vanish [16:43] or even try out Xubuntu, xfce recently got updated to v4.12 [16:43] I might swap out the harddrive, I dont want to lose my win7 install [16:48] if /etc/X11/Xsession isn't sourced, how xsession-errros and from who is it created? [16:51] JethroTux, : foe example,when you try to play a non supported video codec [16:54] ioria, ? [16:55] Anyone with Ubuntu and a Brother Printer+Scanner? [16:55] JethroTux, : it's like a log file [16:57] ioria, I know that, I don't understand where it's set [16:58] JethroTux, : it's generated by the X System and it's located in your home directory [16:58] so it's kind of built-in variable setting?? [17:00] JethroTux, : it's a log file === tcpman is now known as Guest46641 [17:12] Hi, I'm on 10.04 server (yes, I know, it's going out of support rather soon). I've just set up v6 through tunnelbroker.net and I'm trying to get it to work with ufw (I wasn't previously using a firewall at all because it was behind a router with NAT). I've got the firewall working fine on v4, but it appears to be blocking all my v6 traffic as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1371345 . However, [17:12] the solution that I attempted from that thread didn't work, I just get "ERROR: problem running". [17:13] Hi all.. can anyone explain to me the expected result booting with eth0 unplugged, then plugging the cable in after a few minutes, when using "allow-hotplug eth0" in /e/n/i ? [17:13] err, lol, spoke too soon, seems to be working after a restart of ufw. Weird error message, but oh well === nikolov_ is now known as Dreaman [17:14] I'm getting kind of odd behavior, eth0 is always "up" and never acquires and IP address when I plug the cable in.. I thought that it would auto ifup/down based on link state, but maybe I've misunderstood. [17:14] Muzer: no point fixing it for 1 month either :) [17:14] put the time + effort into getting 14.04 going [17:15] daftykins: indeed, I'm trying to get a free T-shirt first because our lecturer said that he would buy us a pint ;) [17:15] Muzer: eh, is this more education related stuff where the lecturer enforces running old OSs? [17:15] Muzer: who and where is this? :P [17:15] daftykins: no [17:15] I have this server already that I have been meaning to upgrade for a while (I'll do it over easter, this is the last week of term) [17:16] but the first one to come into a lecture with an IPv6 T-shirt will get a pint [17:16] so I was trying to get it working as fast as possible on my existing setup [17:16] There's no place like ::1, it's true. [17:17] theres no place like ~ [17:17] ~/ [17:17] hello. I've got a ISO. mounted via the VM (vSphere), when I boot up, I select boot from CD/DVD... but ubuntu's installer never comes up, and just puts me to the login screen. how can I force a reinstall? [17:18] login prompt* sorry. not screen... it's ubuntu 14.04 LTS. [17:18] alpha1125: sounds like you need to learn how to use vmware :) [17:19] adjust the boor order or hit escape on the 'BIOS screen' to pick a boot device [17:19] daftykins thanks... not my day job... ubuntu's not an officially supported OS, so I'm on my own, but the admins were nice enough to provision me with my own space... so can I get a break? [17:19] officially supported at work* [17:19] daftykins I have... I've picked boot from DVD/CD. [17:19] alpha1125: iirc it's difficult to get into the bios config, as the timeout is set pretty low by default [17:19] if this were vmware support, maybe :) [17:20] e [17:20] md5'd the ISO? [17:20] alpha1125: there's an option somewhere in the guest config to have it go directly to the BIOS [17:20] matching media + VM architecture? etc etc. [17:20] yeah, it was done once, with the same image... so, it's the right ISO. [17:20] alpha1125: well if ubuntu goes through w/ mir expect to have that space revoked [17:21] Lord_Fark_II, pardon? "w/mir expect" not understanding that [17:21] alpha1125: it admins HATE niche software [17:21] alpha1125: it's a pointless comment, i'd ignore Lord_Fark_II if i were you [17:22] it's kinda like buying a car and a guy telling you that eletric is the future [17:22] :) [17:22] alpha1125: do you care about any data on the system right now? [17:22] where system = this VM [17:23] daftykins, nope... it's a bad VM right now... it was a clone from elsewhere, which didn't take. [17:23] alpha1125: ok, does it boot? [17:23] the originals' fine. [17:23] actually thats what canonicals doing... cept theyre saying flux capacitors are t3h future [17:23] daftykins yes. [17:23] alpha1125: boot it and 'dd' 50MB of zeroes onto the virtual disk, that'll stop the disk being bootable and probably skip over to the ISO to boot instead, as long as it's mounted and connected [17:24] ahhh, that's clever... never would have thought of that. [17:24] you may call me... the bodger [17:24] \o/ [17:24] bodge mir [17:25] Lord_Fark_II: please don't make irrelevant comments anymore [17:29] define irrelevant [17:29] uuhimhere: same as what you're doing, basically :) [17:30] #define IRRELEVANT [17:30] #ifdef [17:30] daftykins, thanks for the tip... was unnecessary, as the system somehow unbuggered itself... [17:31] alpha1125: huzzah \o/ [17:32] Is there any USB boot device creator like "Rufus" for Ubuntu? [17:32] hi - I'm having trouble getting plasma 5 to work - I get a plasmashell crash on log in [17:32] Chotaz: don't need one, you use the command line utility 'dd' [17:32] Chotaz: "sudo dd if=/path/to/.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M" where 'sdX' = your flash drive device [17:32] Anyone know how to fix very slow scrolling in firefox? using nvidia propr. driver [17:33] zaggynl: tried toggling smooth scrolling in the firefox options? [17:33] yes [17:33] daftykins: it works for windows ISOs? [17:33] wihtout it doesn't scroll at all heh [17:34] Chotaz: oh, no. [17:34] hrm, it's bad in chrome and chromium too [17:35] Chotaz: I like YUMI but it's win32 [17:35] could try from a vm? [17:35] zaggynl: i was looking for a faster solution, since I dont have much time to setup said VM [17:36] Chotaz: VM? so attach the ISO direct... [17:36] Chotaz: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ ? [17:36] anything that would natively and support windows ISOs would be great [17:36] thanks zaggy ill take a look [17:36] pro tip: if you're installing Windows as EFI, you don't need a boot sector... so just paste the contents on. [17:38] oh wow [17:38] the slow scrolling seems to be a long ongoing issue [17:38] it's with the nvidia devs apparently? [17:39] well them I'm with Linus sticking up a finger [17:39] zaggynl: what card + driver version are you using? [17:39] gtx 760 [17:39] as for version, uh [17:39] dpkg -l | grep nvidia [17:39] and for the love of tux don't paste in here [17:39] haha [17:39] 346.47 [17:41] on logging into plasma it does the loading splash page thing with the progress bar [17:41] then when it switches to the desktop, it popus up a debug/failure dialogue [17:41] zaggynl: ok so you manually installed from their site [17:41] * daftykins tuts [17:41] plasmashell: we are sorry, plasmashell closed unexpectedly. [17:41] Then I don't have a desktop :( [17:42] drdozer: did it ever work? is this a clean install? what... [17:42] I didn't daftykins, I'm used the xedgers ppa [17:42] *using [17:42] ah ok [17:43] daftykins: it's an install on a system that previously had kde4 on it, unicorn [17:43] drdozer: does the guest session work? sounds like a lack of appropriate graphics driver to me [17:44] bear in mind there's also #kubuntu i believe [17:44] check the logs drdozer, especially xorg [17:50] hi, I need some help for ubuntu snappy [17:50] herrickreport.com/whalerecipes.html [17:50] I successfully run ubuntu snappy core with a beaglebone black [17:51] yay [17:51] but now I want to run my own app that blinks a LED [17:51] i want to use python [17:52] and i need to use the Adafruit_BBIO library [17:52] lmbn: eat some whale pie [17:53] uuhimhere what does this means? [17:53] dont mind the troll [17:53] :) [17:54] my problem is I dont know how to install a library in ubuntu snappy [17:54] anyone that can help me? [17:54] I cannot find something relevant in the documentation [17:55] lmbn: i believe there's #ubuntu-arm for such devices [17:56] daftykins, good idea thank you [17:56] :) === lmbn is now known as limbonic [18:02] hi [18:02] greetings === thomas_ is now known as Guest24370 [18:11] Hello everyone! [18:11] Good afternoon from Spain! [18:12] welcome back, got a question? [18:13] hi guys, is ubuntu 12.04 lts/desktop shipped with any email server? [18:13] nothing is 'shipped' with, but packages *for* a server are available [18:14] Yes, I'm learning linux and I understand the network configuration file is in /etc/network/interfaces, however, there's no information about the network there... :s [18:14] k-joseph_, you can do it with postfix and dovecot [18:14] Knight80, what kind of information are you searching? [18:14] k-joseph_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer [18:14] Knight80: correct, because in a GUI system - network manager handles the network settings [18:14] ioria: i tried but could'nt manage to install postfix [18:15] ioria: getting: E: Package 'postfix' has no installation candidate [18:15] k-joseph_: sure you ran "sudo apt-get update" ? [18:15] !info postfix [18:15] daftykins Where is it stored then? There must be a file with the settings... right? [18:15] you might also need to enable universe/multiverse repos [18:15] postfix (source: postfix): High-performance mail transport agent. In component main, is optional. Version 2.11.1-1ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 1102 kB, installed size 3476 kB [18:15] daftykins: yes [18:15] daftykins: No, is in main [18:15] !info postfix precise [18:16] postfix (source: postfix): High-performance mail transport agent. In component main, is optional. Version 2.9.6-1~12.04.3 (precise), package size 1243 kB, installed size 3112 kB [18:16] huzzah [18:16] * daftykins hands genii a coffee [18:16] Knight80, some basic information about the active network settings can be viewed with the 'ifconfig' command [18:16] from the terminal [18:16] Knight80: What information do you need about your network? [18:17] daftykins: Thanks, needed that :) [18:17] schaap137 Thank you, but what I'm trying to do is configuring the network editing a file [18:17] I thought it was /etc/network/interfaces [18:17] Knight80: yes it is. you need to enter the details yourself [18:18] Knight80: have an example - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10616674/ [18:18] genii: any idea why would still get postfix failing to install saying not found even after running apt-get update and upgrade [18:18] Yes, but since I configured it with the Network Manager (gui) I thought the setting would be stored there automatically [18:19] k-joseph_: pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list [18:19] where is the configuration file when you set the whole thing up via Network Manager? [18:19] that's what I mean [18:19] k-joseph_, i think depends on your old version [18:20] k-joseph_: Check your sources.list file [18:20] EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/sTWfNQCs [18:20] Knight80: ah-haaaaaa now i follow. [18:20] genii: ^ [18:20] Knight80: please start with the detail the first time in future :) [18:20] daftykins Ok, sorry about that [18:20] k-joseph_: your sources.list needs to be fixed [18:21] EriC^^: how do i need to do that? [18:21] http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ k-joseph_ [18:21] then type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and paste that instead [18:23] EriC^^: i had a funny thought once that that site could use funky character encodings to replace standard repos with modified ones that read the same, but are different :D [18:23] daftykins: oh :D [18:23] EriC^^: looks good, i only would choose main officially and main sources under branches, do i need every thing? [18:24] My computer keeps crashing - not hanging up or freezing, just instantly turning off and rebooting itself, is there a place that this gets logged or whats going on ? [18:24] so where's the configuration file when you set the network up via Network Manager? [18:24] k-joseph_: universe and updates and and security and multiverse/restricted if you want [18:24] q_: /var/log/syslog may give some answers. [18:25] Knight80: no idea. i would jump on google for "default network manager config" but you can do that just as well as i :) [18:25] k-joseph_: I would generate the sources.list including universe/multiverse. You can always #-out the repo you don't need. [18:25] q_: Instantly? Then there’s hardy any chance you will find something in /var/log/syslog. But you can try in case the shutdown was initiated by linux ... [18:26] minimec: k-joseph_ that's a good idea [18:26] vlt, rypervenche : only thing in syslog is "[ 2.973836] init: Error while reading from descriptor: Broken pipe" [18:26] k-joseph_, keep in mind the opportunity do upgrade the entire system, however [18:26] rypervenche, vlt : maybe a harddrive failure ? memory failure ? [18:26] ioria: ! [18:26] q_: That is too early. You need to be looking at the timestamp that is the latest before your reboot. [18:27] q_: memtest time [18:27] Hey folks, we have LVM on top of RAID on our boot device. We just did an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 to 12.04. At 12.04 the lilo upgrade failed with "Fatal: Only linear boot device supported". We tried switching to grub, but got "core.img unusually large". We are now stuck. Any suggestions? [18:27] daftykins thank you [18:27] k-joseph_, i mean do a do-release-upgrade to ubu 14.04 [18:28] ioria: i don't wanna break down most of the stuffs am currently running on my pc. i will look into that when i have less development and automation on this pc [18:28] k-joseph_, i see [18:28] if i run a script in rc.local, will it get executed before the init.d scripts and Upstart services are started? === dionysus69_ is now known as dionysus69 [18:30] Hello [18:30] lduros: rc.local will be executed @ the end ... so after all other scripts and services. [18:30] How can I check if an usb live converted into an .iso image is corrupted or not? [18:30] cristian_c: you can boot it and run an integrity check [18:31] minimec: hmm, that's not good in my case. I would like a script to execute when the network is available, but before the services are started (apache, supervisor, etc, ...) [18:31] Hash of the .iso image is different from the usb live hash [18:31] *converted with dd [18:31] minimec: when/where should I run my script then? :) [18:31] EriC^^, ok [18:31] EriC^^, but if it boots [18:31] cristian_c: try to hold shift when it boots if you dont get a menu usually [18:31] It appears on 14.04 that dhclient is spawned with -1 when you have 'auto eth0', which seems to mean if it fails to get an address it won't retry. [18:31] Is there a way to change this behavior? [18:31] cristian_c: you can also use the checksum list on the usb if you want [18:31] EriC^^, is there another method different from booting? [18:32] yeah [18:32] lduros: You would have to create an upstart-'service' that runs the script... I guess... [18:32] EriC^^, I've not understood [18:32] there's a file called md5sum.txt i think, try md5sum -c /path/to/file [18:32] cristian_c: you can also use the checksum list on the usb if you want [18:32] minimec: ok, I'll look it up :) thanks [18:32] it should check the files on the usb [18:32] I can't seem to track down where this argument is being supplied, unless it's just compiled into ifup [18:32] EriC^^, but it's already different [18:32] Hash of the .iso image is different from the usb live hash [18:33] EriC^^, ahhhhhh, ok [18:33] cristian_c: it has a list of the checksums of the individual files in the usb, not the whole .iso [18:33] minimec: by the way it doesn't need to run forever, it's only an update/install script for a mercurial repo [18:33] EriC^^, I understand [18:33] :) [18:33] :) [18:33] EriC^^, can I execute these individual checksums for all the files? [18:33] :) [18:34] EriC^^, thanks, anyway [18:34] if i have a really simple script that returns a line of txt, how do i log that output? [18:34] (this is with apache2) [18:34] cristian_c: no problem [18:34] I didn't think to such possibility, however :D [18:34] lduros: eviddent, but it has to be started @ an exact time, as you mention. You just have to tell upstart 'when exactly'... [18:35] minimec: and at what time would this be? :) [18:35] EriC^^, I'll try to see if there is a method to execute a massive set of checksum :D [18:35] maybe with * [18:35] I just want the script to be fully executed and then only continue with the other upstart jobs etc [18:35] :P [18:35] heh [18:35] cristian_c: try md5sum -c /path/to/md5sum.txt [18:35] EriC^^, ah, ok [18:35] cristian_c: i think it works [18:35] --> 19:31 lduros : minimec: hmm, that's not good in my case. I would like a script to execute when the network is available, but before the services are started (apache, supervisor, etc, ...) [18:35] sorry [18:35] does anyone know how to get gnome-screensaver commands to work with crontab on ubuntu 14.04? [18:35] EriC^^, thanks, again [18:35] np [18:36] minimec? [18:36] max100: what for? [18:36] minimec: right, but how does it translate in terms of when? :) runlevel? [18:36] trying to schedule screenlock [18:37] start on runlevel 3? [18:37] lduros: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ [18:37] with gnome-screensaver-command -l [18:37] alright, thanks [18:37] In Ubuntu runlevels 2 through 5 are identical [18:38] hey people [18:38] Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how you configure a display. Modifying the /etc/X11/xorg.conf is doing nothing [18:38] I have a 2560x1440p monitor running at 800x600 :| [18:39] derrzzaa: what graphics card and drivers are you using? Have you added any boot parameters? [18:39] i've jumped back to Windows because of this issue, but my laptop has some serious beef with ubuntu, it's an Asus N750JK with the GPU on-die in the CPU and a seperate Nvidia GPU, i tried bumblebee to no avail, any suggestions? [18:40] !Optimus [18:40] The Bumblebee Project aims to support NVIDIA Optimus technology under Linux. The Bumblebee website can be found at http://bumblebee-project.org/ [18:41] lduros: I have an idea.... Just tell network-manager to start a script after connection... Looks promising... http://www.techytalk.info/start-script-on-network-manager-successful-connection/ [18:41] When trying to install Skype, I get a failure because it needs packages from the following "untrusted" sources: libdrm-intel1:i386 libdrm-nouveau2:i386 libdrm-radeon1:i386 libdrm2:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libglapi-mesa:i386 How do I rectify this? [18:41] BluesKaj: bumblebee doesn't work... i just said that [18:41] ReScO: is performance better with the latest and greatest drivers? [18:41] hmm, ok, i'll look into this as well :) tHanks [18:41] mcphail: black screens, no realtime GPU switching, etc [18:41] it's horrible [18:42] derrzzaa, consider the xrandr command [18:42] Currently, I'm switching drivers to see if that'll help [18:42] ReScO, I was hoping there had been an update to that website's tutorial, but I guess not [18:42] and BluesKaj please don't use !triggers when you don't read my question completely.... [18:42] ReScO: I don't have a laptop with hybrid graphics but I have heard bad reports. The driver and bumblebee packages from xorg-edgers tend to be the latest and greatest and are probably your best chance of getting satisfactory performance, I'd guess [18:43] what I really wanted to do was to suspend my computer everyday at 12:00am. I was able to do this with crontab, but this does not lock the screen when I turn it back on. [18:43] mcphail: tried it, laptop went fubar [18:44] so now I'm trying to lock the screen with gnome-screensaver-command -l through crontab before i use pm-suspend [18:44] ioria: minimec: EriC^^: genii: i pulled ll of them actually to make sure i missed no lookup, so my /etc/apt/sources.list looks like: http://pastebin.com/XQvYeVkD currenctly, i have re tried to install postfix and it was still responding with: E: Package 'postfix' has no installation candidate [18:44] suspend works but gnome-screensaver-command -l does not [18:44] all attempts so far have been fruitless. clearly you need to be a linux guy with 20 years experienece to configure a display :'( [18:45] k-joseph_: you busy with a server? [18:45] k-joseph_, well, you can always download the source and compile it [18:45] derrzzaa: what is your current problem? [18:46] ReScO: i want to set up a mail server as part of my classwork, [18:46] ioria: but then apt-get will whine about that [18:46] derrzzaa, yep [18:46] ReScO, cannot set my display to native resolution [18:46] k-joseph_: and postfix is uninstallable? [18:46] derrzzaa: what have you tried? [18:46] 14.04, latest nvidia drivers [18:46] i've come to learn a shitton about display stuff because of this laptop... [18:46] ioria: that sounds much stuff for me now, how are other people able to get postfix running that is different from the way am trying to get it done [18:46] configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf according to numerous guides / stack exchange posts === Bilbo_Baggins is now known as Dildo_Baggins === Tsunami1 is now known as Guest8665 [18:47] reboot, fail, try again [18:47] xorg is pretty hard on the user, i agree [18:47] ReScO, have you seen this , if you have I won't bother you any more [18:47] k-joseph_, really, that many ppa's ? no wonder something like postfix breaks [18:47] ReScO: how do you nomally get it running on a machine if it is un installable [18:47] http://askubuntu.com/questions/363775/what-is-the-use-of-nvidia-prime, ReScO [18:48] OerHeks: ppa's? [18:48] derrzzaa: if i am right, ubuntu uses something different than the xorg config... [18:48] k-joseph_, but, in general, can you apt-get install something ? [18:48] oh really? [18:48] k-joseph_: apt-add-repository stuff [18:48] I'm confused as to what config files are used to be honest. Nvidia installs a load of binaries [18:48] some config files of their own [18:48] ioria: am able to install several apps using that way [18:48] derrzzaa: i'm trying to remember [18:49] k-joseph_: Are you actually running Precise?

[20:43] lattera: fat32 [20:43] lattera: FAT32 for total cross compatibility [20:43] yeah... fat32 will be the simpler [20:43] problem with fat32 is files have to be <=2.7GB in size [20:44] gonna be sharing some big files [20:44] lattera: last i heard it had to be less than 4GB not less than 2.7, you could try exfat [20:44] 4GB, yeah [20:44] lattera: 4GB is the limit, not 2.7 [20:44] sorry, 4GB [20:44] lattera: I think the file limitatin is 4gbs, but you're correct, there's a limit on filesize in fat32 [20:44] still, some files are gonna be > 4GB [20:44] split them, or use ntfs maybe [20:44] I could split them, I guess [20:44] lattera: then you'll need some other filesystem - linux can theoretically work with HFS+ if i remember [20:44] Ben64: NTFS and Mac don't always get along [20:44] s/HFS+/HFS/ [20:45] hfs and anything doesn't get along [20:45] true point [20:45] lattera: iirc, fat32 has also a partition size limitation of 32gbs [20:45] untrue [20:46] hmmm maybe it was a MS 9x limit..... I do recall there was such.... maybe it was on 98 itself, rather than fat32 [20:46] I hate how we still don't have a truly universal filesystem [20:46] windows xp wouldn't let you format >32GB as fat32, but windows 98 would [20:47] There's also OSXFuse which lets you use ext filesystems from Mac [20:47] lattera: Save the rants for #ubuntu-offtopic please. :) === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang === mkv is now known as m4v === Zachary_DuBois is now known as ^__^ === ^__^ is now known as ^___^ === ^___^ is now known as Tokyo [20:59] im getting an error when rebooting an instance in openstack "error: unknown filesystem entering rescue mode, grub rescue" im using a 14.01 uefi image [20:59] im getting an error when rebooting an instance in openstack "error: unknown filesystem entering rescue mode, grub rescue" im using a 14.04 uefi image [21:00] Hi, I have installed youtube-dl using apt-get, but the problem is that it is not the latest version.

[21:37] say- what is a good client for remote desktop gateway? [21:37] Hi, i need some help getting 3D support for a NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA nForce 630a to work. Installing the 304 NVidia driver results in a freeze after login. [21:38] w00tburger: Pretty sure Remmina supports Remote Desktop Gateway. [21:38] thansk renegade, ill check it out [21:38] already built in- nice :) [21:39] Renegade334, hi, by any chance you have some experience with PAM and lightdm? [21:39] Not really, tigerden [21:39] teward, I have a small computer with two network cards installed ubuntu server, when I connect the server with static ip , receives no internet , but when I put dhcp connects usual. after that, try to connect another computer to the server pings and can read a plain, unformatted test php, but I can not surf the internet. [21:40] Okay, this PAM topic is where I get very less useful information on the Internet. [21:40] dang it. I dont know what my companys department did, but they got more strict on algorithms and no RDG is working for me. on my mac I had to install microsofts client as that was the only one that supported the encryption [21:40] doesnt look like remmina does though === Sir_Lestaty is now known as dumbledore [21:41] So I installed ubuntu on a friends computer and now I can't remember what his password is to update it. I tried the email recovery but I either never registered it or I used his old email that he no longer has access to. Anything else I can do? [21:42] AndroUser: Boot a livecd and reset the password. [21:42] sound settings in ubuntu allows me to easily change soundcard (and moves all sound to the new selected soundcard instantly.) But I want to do this from the command line (or rather with a custom hotkey) pacmd set-default-sink doesn't seem to move active streams though. What method is the ubuntu using? [21:43] AndroUser: There is no such thing as email recovery for Ubuntu passwords, so I'm not sure what exactly you actually did there. If they don't use encryption, then you can simply boot into recovery mode from the grub menu and change their password with "passwd username_here". [21:44] Dumle29: Try asking in #pulseaudio if you don't get an answer here. [21:45] Jordan_U: Will do :) I also managed to find a ruby script that does more than I want, and a bash script that does a little less than i want. I think I'm going with the bash, as it easily ties in with the command I am using though [21:46] Cool. So I wont need to know the old password and I found something in the settings that had me type an email in and it would send me a link to reset the password. Thanks to both of you! [21:47] AndroUser: Ubuntu doesnt have a password recovery based on email. [21:47] AndroUser: How were you getting to any settings windows if you couldn't log in? I'm very curious what screen you saw, as again as far as I'm aware no such thing exists. [21:49] I got into his profile and tried to reset his password but didnt know it to change it. Im not at his house anymore since i couldn't download a irc I can let you know tomorrow when I get there if that works [21:49] AndroUser: How did you get into his profile without knowing his password? [21:52] hey dose anyone know a good video format changer for ubuntu? [21:52] I was in user accounts. [21:52] Is it possible to only require a password for SFTP but require a key for regular ssh connections? [21:52] AndroUser: How did you login without knowing his password? [21:53] maybe it has autologin? [21:53] I left it unlocked so he didn't have to always type a password to get on his cpu [21:54] Hi, i have this problem in installing a software from source : http://pastebin.ca/2959721 [21:54] AndroUser: Maybe you saw something about "Ubuntu One", a web service unrelated to logging into your local machine. [21:54] AndroUser: btw you can always use webchat.freenode.net to get on irc if you dont have a client [21:55] !info aegisub [21:55] aegisub (source: aegisub): advanced subtitle editor. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.1.2-1build1 (utopic), package size 1864 kB, installed size 6182 kB [21:55] Thats possible. I was in a hurry when I got there and wanted me to look at it. [21:55] ErfanBs: Is there some issue with the aegisub that yopu can install from the package manager? [21:56] I thought I used that before but thought it got changed because it told me to use xchat [21:57] genii: No, but i have this problem with other sources ! [21:57] ErfanBs: Why are you trying to compile from source though? [21:57] anyone know a video format changer i could use [21:58] ErfanBs: The question is more like... why are you compiling it from source unless there's some feature not in the supplied version or the supplied version won't install [21:58] rypervenche: some software's are not in ubuntu repo [21:58] ace2race, avconv , handbrake [21:59] thanks bazhang [21:59] ErfanBs: aegisub is in the repos, so you will want to use that. What are you trying to compile that is not in the repositories? [21:59] rypervenche: XAMPP [22:00] !xampp | ErfanBs [22:00] ErfanBs: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. [22:00] use lamp ErfanBs [22:01] bazhang: LAMP have all of XAMPP facilities ? [22:01] ErfanBs: Sure. [22:02] can anyone tell me what link id use to add a podcast to rythmbox? [22:02] is it a special URL like a torrent or somthing? [22:03] or is it like git where id point it at a link and theres hidden configs to do it for me? [22:03] w00tburger: its the stream url. like a url ending on .m3u or something like that [22:03] bekks: Thanks, what about Android SDK ? i want install it too. [22:03] ty k1 [22:05] ErfanBs: Thats not specific for XAMPP. [22:05] ErfanBs: Do you need the entire SDK or the tools (fastboot and adb)? [22:06] rypervenche: SDK [22:06] ErfanBs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AndroidSDK [22:12] is there a way I can prevent gnome-settings-daemon to not overwrite my ~/.Xresources font? [22:13] hi, does anyone knows how can i change my user password thati forget? i have no grub installed... [22:13] exit [22:14] Is it possible to only require a password for SFTP but require a key for regular ssh connections? [22:14] !password [22:14] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [22:16] k1l: i have no grub installed on my system... [22:16] sfdebug_: what is the starting bootloader then? [22:17] k1l: i don't know... but no menu appears to me on boot [22:17] Because the grub menu is hidden by default. [22:17] press left shift on boot. if there is only ubuntu installed there is no menu shown. [22:18] hi [22:18] k1l: let me try it... === AustinTheGrey is now known as AustinTheGrey_Aw [22:25] k1l: nothing happens... [22:26] sgdebug: holding shift on boot? [22:26] or try esc (on some setups) [22:27] k1l: i'll try esc... but pres it many times or hold it? [22:27] How can I redirect all traffic over a local proxy? On some apps (e.g. firefox) there are proxy settings, but what about apps that ignore those settings? [22:27] sgdebug, no grub installed, did you use wubi inside windows? [22:27] hold it. try holding shift first [22:27] s/ignore/don't have/ [22:27] OerHeks: no, i have no windows... [22:28] k1l: i tried holding shift and pressing it many times... with shift don't work [22:28] i'll try with ESC... let me see.. [22:32] nhj [22:34] running xubuntu 14.10, i installed the latest nvidia 346.47.run and now i'm in 1024x768. what happened? Usually these driver installs work or how do i fix it? I did have nvidia-331 installed too [22:34] you know how they always beat that 'did you update your video driver to the latest' drum? well heh, now it's broken. [22:34] and i did say 'yes' to DKMS when i installed 346.47.. could that have broken my 64bit os?

How should I troubleshoot this? [22:50] thurstylark, file a bug via the bugmenu in chrome, and reconsidder using beta software [22:53] OerHeks: Mmkay. I'll be doing a nuke and pave on my machine soon, so I'll stick with it for now to see if the problem persists. [22:53] any idea on how i boot in single mode from grub terminal? the prompt is "grub>" [22:57] k1l: do you know that? [22:57] sgdebug, edit the kernel line, append S [22:58] sfdebug_: well, i would prefer the easy way to go over the grub menu and choose recovery [22:58] pavlos: i have just a terminal with a "grub>" cursor...

[23:08] guest54321: Use the Windows install disk, and it should give you instructions to reformat your HDD and install Windows. Please consult Microsoft support resources for further questions. [23:16] does anyone knows if its possible to run android apps on a linux system? [23:17] billythekid: they'd have to be built for ARM architecture and libraries [23:18] billythekid: for some, maybe. for all, definitely not. [23:18] billythekid: Ubuntu on ARM, probably can be used, but Android doesn't use dpkg like Ubuntu does and such, so you're going to have to build things for Android and such (and port em) [23:18] teward, you mean its possible but its harD? [23:18] billythekid: no, I said it *may* be possible for some applications and programs [23:19] there's no way to clearly answer your questoin because different programs have different dependencies which may or may not exist for Android [23:19] teward, is there anyone else tryng to do the same thing? [23:19] billythekid: but that's delving into a non-Ubuntu thing, so if you have real questions like that about Android you should try and ask in #android [23:19] billythekid: If you are looking for a solution that would _allow_ you to run Android apps on your Linux system, you can checkout the android-x86 project [23:20] Is there a way to install a driver from a windows .exe file? [23:20] galentanner: No - Windows drivers and Linux drivers are not compatible with each other, to put it simply. [23:20] galentanner: driver for what? [23:21] I'm trying to interface a digital Mixer to record sound. Running Xbuntu 14.04 and there is no driver for it. [23:21] do i need to be hi skilled to run a android video chat application on my ljnux os? [23:21] i could chat with other persons using smartphones [23:21] it whould be fun [23:22] id like to have a virtual smartphone on my linux [23:22] It's the new XR18 digital mixer from Behringer and there is a driver for windows, but not linux. Any help? [23:23] Bueller. [23:24] Bueller. [23:26] ok. Let's try this one. My broadcom wifi still won't work. I've followed the instructions on a post I was referred to, No luck. Any ideas? [23:27] galentanner: Have you tried installing the bcmwl firmware? [23:27] Yup. Installed it and nada. [23:27] If you open up a terminal and type ifconfig, what interfaces do you see? [23:28] The post I was referred to gave me all kinds of commands and procedures. Tried all of them. [23:28] Standby... [23:28] I don't know...

[23:30] There you go, galentanner [23:30] What's eth0 and lo? [23:31] hello [23:31] hellp [23:31] *hello [23:31] eth0 looks like the ethernet I'm working on now. Is the other one the wireless? [23:31] eth0 is probably your ethernet adapter, and lo is the "loopback" interface [23:31] anybody here can tell me if my intel hd 4400 is good to play games [23:31] So the wireless is not running? [23:31] if you don't see any other interfaces, like "wlan0" or "eth1", then you're right, your wireless adapter isn't playing [23:32] How do I get this working? [23:32] I used to have the same problem, I'm trying to remember how I kicked it into submission... [23:32] hello [23:32] I'm eager to read your rememberings... [23:32] i just bought this new notebook [23:32] :) [23:33] with intel hd 4400 would like to know if games work fine [23:33] Danielbrazilian: try it and see [23:33] just to confirm, if you type the following into the terminal, what does it say? [23:33] dpkg-query -s bcmwl-kernel-source [23:33] i'm still downloading them [23:33] have you tried "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up "? [23:33] i have installed the drivers Ben64 [23:33] from xedgers [23:33] no. I'll try it... [23:34] i am using ubuntu mate 15.04 beta because it came official flavour [23:34] Danielbrazilian: then #ubuntu+1 is the channel you need for support [23:34] It says " Error while getting interface flags: No such device [23:34] thanks [23:36] what is your wifi adapter ? [23:36] Broadcom 4318 [23:37] galentanner: if i were you i'd just new a new wireless adapter [23:37] I might as well buy a new computer. [23:37] maybe [23:38] I'm trying to use what I have. It works. Well, It worked with Windows anyway... [23:38] well of course it does, the computer came with windows on it [23:38] So, Linux supports it. Why won't it work? [23:38] galentanner: Open up a terminal, and type "sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source", and paste your output to: [23:38] !pastebin [23:38] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:39] Standby [23:39] Interesting ... [23:39] galentanner: how do you figure that linux supports it? [23:39] When you install the driver package, your computer builds the driver for you. It might be producing an error somewhere along the line. [23:39] I am also having a wireless issue [23:39] with bcmwl driver [23:39] have you tried this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2174511 [23:39] but for Trusty [23:39] working.... [23:40] One of the posts that I was referred to stated it was supported... === alex_____ is now known as alex_ [23:41] galentanner: broadcom is not good on linux, which is why i suggested you get a different adapter === xubuntu is now known as Guest87082 [23:41] for me 10.10 works great! [23:41] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:41] It is just under Trusty 14.04 LTS I cannot get it to work [23:41] Why does broadcom not work with linux? [23:42] because broadcom doesn't play nicely [23:42] Broadcom provide their own drivers, and they're pretty ropey [23:42] It says "DKMS:install completed" [23:43] Interesting. What does work with Linux? [23:43] galentanner, try to enable the driver you installed via modprobe [23:43] galentanner: atheros, realtek, ralink [23:43] see the link i posted [23:44] Thanks [23:45] so, I typed in " sudo modprobe b43 " [23:46] im researching how to expand my luks/lvm setup, can anyone explain what step 3 is talking about: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeEncryptedPartitions#Detailed_resizing_.2BAH4_Enlarging_an_encrypted_partition [23:46] Now it just sits there. Did I do something wrong? [23:47] I did contact Broadcom and I have been trying to recompile the latest driver version from them. [23:47] Any idea if that would be useable for the 4318? [23:47] However, I am getting a conflict between the header file definition and the c file defination for one of the c files. [23:48] What laptop computers work well (overall) with linux? [23:48] Broadcom had recommended getting the binary of their driver compiled for Trusty from Ubuntu 14.04; hopefully the link does it. [23:49] (By the way I am currently connected wirelessly with the same card under 10.10 even now!) [23:49] galentanner, https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 its supported [23:49] stephen613: you shouldn't be running 10.10, very vulnerable [23:50] But in terms of header changes, I was wondering what is the right resource to take the next step? [23:50] s that something a dummy l like me can install easily? [23:50] 10.10 is vulnerable; that is why I am trying to upgrade to 14.04LTS once wireless works so I can do so. === tome is now known as Guest1118 [23:52] Ben64: do you know of any contact in terms of negotiating getting the latest Broadcom driver compiled? Apparently the trusty version may not be current on the Broadcom side. [23:52] galentanner I've never had any problems with recent Dells [23:52] stephen613: why not just grab a cheap usb wireless [23:53] Because since it works under 10.10 I know that the hardware is fine. [23:53] stop using 10.10 now [23:53] It leans toward a software problem. [23:53] its way too risky to continue running === dewwii is now known as deww [23:54] Nice to chat for now... I appreciate your link. Hopefully we can catch up later!
